Error Number 2003 usually means that the MySQL server isn't running.
However, if it's happening during the installation process, it probably
means that a software firewall is blocking access to MySQL. You need to
change your firewall settings to allow access to MySQL.

i have tried that also. I even disabled both windows and Mcafee Firewall and still i get the same error.

will i need to download MySQL Admin "winmysqladmin.exe" ??

[LuisDesigns]

ok, i finally got it installed without any error. I downloaded MySQL Admin and got it to work also. The only thing i cannot do is from command:
run-cmd
i put in the proper directory and it says "error 1045 <28000> ...............................................using password <NO>

and if i first stop MySQL manualy and type it again in the command, it says:
""error 2003 <HY000>: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' <10061>

what can possibly be wrong ?
thanks again
