Answer 1

To re-iterate what Jens wrote in more current code, first open the Command Prompt with Administrator access by right-clicking the Command Prompt icon and select "Run as administrator." Then cut and paste the following into the Command Prompt at the C:> directory level:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld" --install 

You may have to change the name of the folder depending on where MySQL is installed and what version it is.
