Many thanks for your response.



Yes, also running from admin account.


Task Manager does not indicate that msqld.exe is running either following the initial exception or on reinstall. In fact as far as I can tell from Start/search it does not exist! The only thing in Program Files/MySQL/MySQL 5.6 is my.ini. There is a bunch of stuff in Program Data/MySQL but no obvious (to me) errorlog, but lots of unreadable files with *log.* type names.

Task Manager Services shows MySQL stopped and an attempt to start it results in "The operation could not be completed. Access Denied"
