 2.3.1 Choosing An Installation Package
 --------------------------------------
 
 For MySQL 5.0, there are three installation packages to choose from
 when installing MySQL on Windows:
 
    * *The Essentials Package*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-essential-5.0.19-win32.msi' and contains the minimum set of
      files needed to install MySQL on Windows, including the
      Configuration Wizard. This package does not include optional
      components such as the embedded server and benchmark suite.
 
    * *The Complete Package*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-5.0.19-win32.zip' and contains all files needed for a
      complete Windows installation, including the Configuration Wizard.
      This package includes optional components such as the embedded
      server and benchmark suite.
 
    * *The Noinstall Archive*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-noinstall-5.0.19-win32.zip' and contains all the files
      found in the Complete install package, with the exception of the
      Configuration Wizard.  This package does not include an automated
      installer, and must be manually installed and configured.
 
 The Essentials package is recommended for most users. It is provided as
 an `.msi' file for use with the Windows Installer. The Complete and
 Noinstall distributions are packaged as Zip archives. To use them, you
 must have a tool that can unpack `.zip' files.
 
 Your choice of install package affects the installation process you
 must follow. If you choose to install either the Essentials or Complete
 install packages, see  windows-using-installer. If you choose to
 install MySQL from the Noinstall archive, see 
 windows-install-archive.
