Setting up MySQL

Following this tutorial, http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Apache/Installing-PHP-under-Windows/3/ For the first step "Click Start -> Run and type cmd in the box, click Ok. This will open a console window (or MS-Dos box). In the console window enter the following commands and check that you receive the correct response:

Enter: cd c:\mysql\bin
Enter: mysqld-max-nt --install
Response: Service successfully installed.
Enter: net start MySql
Console should say: The MySql service is starting.
Console should say: The MySql service was started successfully."

I get this error.
"C:\MYSQL\BIN\MYSQLD~3.EXE: ERROR: unknown option '--install' For the first command mysqld-max-nt --install

___________________

try using winmysqladmin.exe in the bin directory to install the service.
