2.9.1 Windows Post-Installation Procedures
------------------------------------------
On Windows, the data directory and the grant tables do not have to be
created. MySQL Windows distributions include the grant tables with a
set of preinitialized accounts in the `mysql' database under the data
directory. You do not run the `mysql_install_db' script that is used on
Unix. However, if you did not install MySQL using the Windows
Installation Wizard, you should assign passwords to the accounts.
mysql-install-wizard-introduction. The procedure for this is given
in Default privileges.
Before setting up passwords, you might want to try running some client
programs to make sure that you can connect to the server and that it is
operating properly. Make sure the server is running ( Windows
server first start), then issue the following commands to verify that
you can retrieve information from the server. The output should be
similar to what is shown here:
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow

If you are running a version of Windows that supports services and you
want the MySQL server to run automatically when Windows starts, see
Windows start service.
