Installing MySQL

So I began by unzipping zip file into a folder of the same name. It really doesn't matter where it is unzippped. I now have setup.exe ready to run.

After it goes through a little song and dance preparing installation files and preparing to install it shows me a window, MySQL Server 5.0 - Setup Wizard

I click next> select custom (because I want to install in in c:/mysql instead of the default directory in Program Files)> click next> click change directory> enter c:/mysql under Folder name: > Click OK> click Next> click Install

After installation "Configure the MySQL Server Now" should be checked and I'll just click Finish and move on.
