go to console (linux)
type this command

service mysqld status
if it says mysqld running .... then it is ok

if it says stopped

run this command

service mysqld start

your mysql daemon is now running you can use it now

You need to run

c:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --install

This will install it as a service.

You will then have to go into the control panel and then into admin part and run the service.
