I tried installing MySQL Server versions 5.5 as well as 5.1, both fail at the same following stage:

mysql-server-5.1-winx64:6 - Looking for valid template
mysql-server-5.1-winx64:100 - Failed to process template.
mysql-server-5.1-winx64:100 - Product configuration controller finished configuration.

I have been trying to troubleshoot this for quite some time and am running out of ideas. I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Try to do a custom install by changing the default Data File Path provided. Alter it to a path that your user has privileges !

  • Thanks for the reply. I already tried this. I changed from the default path to `C:/Program Files/MySQL/` did not change the outcome. Moreover, I am administrator with full privileges. – AnchovyLegend Mar 17 '14 at 14:04
  • Set you service to LocalSystem and Automatic ! ans start your service manually – Up_One Mar 17 '14 at 14:05
  • I would like to try, however, I am not sure I understand the steps. Can you please explain? – AnchovyLegend Mar 17 '14 at 14:07
  • from your cmd line type 'services' -- will list the services installed and their prop- here you alter the prop as i have said ! – Up_One Mar 17 '14 at 14:08
  • Okay, I don't have a service named `LocalSystem` in my list of services. – AnchovyLegend Mar 17 '14 at 14:10
  • use 'local service' - take for example an account that is used to start a service that works with no problems – Up_One Mar 17 '14 at 14:29
