I'm not a Windows user, and I've only set up MySQL as a part of MAMP, so I might not be the best person to chime in here, but I wonder if you're trying to run the 32-bit MySQL on a 64-bit system. It looks like the Windows installer has the ability to install either the 32-bit or 64-bit version. Try uninstalling and reinstalling as 64-bit?
