How to install MySQL on Windows 7

7,339

I had this problem, and explicitly running the MySQL installer as Administrator (right-click, select 'Run as Administrator') fixed it for me.

    Please help me how to install MySQL on Windows 7. When I tried to install, I am getting errors as:

    The security settings could not be applied to the database because the connection has failed of the following errors

    ERROR NR:1045 Access denied for user 'root@'localhost(using password yes).

    I tried to uninstall MySQL completely and install again, but it shows this error again and again. I have changed my firewall setting also and tried unstalling antivirus sotware too. But it also did not work.
