 <div class="indent"><h3><a name="configurationType"></a>Specifying Configuration Type </h3>
 <ol>
   <li>On the Configuration Type panel, choose the Detailed Configuration option. Click Next.<br>
 <strong>Note:</strong> Choosing this option is necessary to get to the panel for setting the network options where you will turn off the firewall for the port used by the MySQL server. </li>
   <li>Choose the Developer Machine option and click Next.  </li>
   <li>Choose the Multifunctional Database option and click Next. </li>
   <li>On the InnoDB Tablespace Settings panel, choose the drive and \MySQL Datafiles\click Next. </li>
   <li>Specify the approximate number of concurrent connections to the server - choose the Decision Support (DSS)/OLAP option. Click Next. </li>
 </ol>
 <h3><a name="networkOptions"></a>Setting the Networking Options </h3>
 <ol>
   <li>Switch on the Enable TCP/IP Networking checkbox.</li>
   <li>In the Port Number: edit-box, specify the connection port. The default setting is 3306 - leave it unchanged if there is not special reason to change it.</li>
   <li>Switch on the Add firewall exception for this port. </li>
   <li>Switch on the Enable Strict Mode checkbox. Click Next. </li>
 </ol>
 <h3><a name="characterSetAndOS"></a>Setting the Character Set and the Operating System Options </h3>

   <li>In the Confirm edit-box, retype the root user's password. </li>
   <li>Click Next.</li>
   <p><strong>Note:</strong> The root user is a user who has full access to the MySQL database server - creating, updating, and removing users, and so on. Remember the root password - you will need it later when creating a sample database.  </p>
 </ol>
 <h3><a name="completingConfiguration"></a>Completing the Configuration </h3>
 <ol>
   <li>Click Execute to start the configuration. </li>
   <li>When the configuration is completed successfully, the information message appears. Click Finish. </li>
 </ol>
 <strong>Note</strong>: To check that the installation has completed successfully, run the Task Manager. If the MySQLd-nt.exe is on the Processes list - the database server is running.
