1.2. Installing MySQL with the Automated Installer
New MySQL users can use the MySQL Installation Wizard and MySQL
Configuration Wizard to install MySQL on Windows. These are
designed to install and configure MySQL in such a way that new
users can immediately get started using MySQL.
The MySQL Installation Wizard and MySQL Configuration Wizard are
available in the Essentials and Complete install packages. They
are recommended for most standard MySQL installations. Exceptions
include users who need to install multiple instances of MySQL on a
single server host and advanced users who want complete control of
server configuration.
