Question

I’m trying to install the latest version of MySQL community server on my computer, got the following error:

mysql-server-5.5-win32:6 - Looking for valid template
mysql-server-5.5-win32:12 - Found valid template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:18 - Attempting to process template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:25 - Processed template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:31 - Attempting to configure service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:37 - Configured service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:43 - Attempting to start service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Unable to configure service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Product configuration controller finished configuration.

I tried to un-re-install and changed the pathway for data and installation, no difference.
Does anyone have any idea?
