I started with a clean machine (Windows 10, 64bits), no previous installation of MySQL. I downloaded MySQL Installer Web Community 5.7.20.0, and installed the following:
- MySQL Server 5.7.20 (x86)
- MySQL Workbench 6.3.10 (x64)
- MySQL Notifier 1.1.7 (x86)
- MySQL Utilities 1.6.5 (x86)
- MySQL Shell 1.0.10 (x86)
- MySQL Router 2.1.4 (x86)
- Connector/NET 6.10.4 (x86)
During the (vanilla) installation, the server doesn’t start. Starting MySQL57 in Windows services returns “The MySQL57 service on Local Computer started and the stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.”
I then looked around and one promising solution was to run this:
mysqld.exe –defaults-file=”C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini” –standalone –console
So I did and out came this:

Of which a few warnings and errors have me looking down a rabbit’s hole of possible configuration issues. I don’t have any data, I can start over from scratch. How can I fix this header page issue?
