After two days and about four hours of installing, uninstalling, rebooting and every tip tested on these forums, I'm about to surrender. I just can't get MP to recognize or install MySQL.
I've cleared the hidden folders, program data, removed every crumb of MP and MySQL and it just won't work.
I even began without ever having MySQL on my PC and the first, fresh install of MP hit the same errors, of start service exception.
I'm just not savvy enough to figure out how to use this and the installer just isn't doing it. I'm apparently not smart enough to do the right tweaking.
Are they any other alternatives to MP in the open source world that are easier to install and use?
