 2.3.6 Extracting the Install Archive
 ------------------------------------
 
 To install MySQL manually, do the following:
 
   1. If you are upgrading from a previous version please refer to 
      windows-upgrading, before beginning the upgrade process.
 
   2. If you are using a Windows NT-based operating system such as
      Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003, make
      sure that you are logged in as a user with administrator
      privileges.
 
   3. Choose an installation location. Traditionally, the MySQL server
      is installed in `C:\mysql'. The MySQL Installation Wizard installs
      MySQL under `C:\Program Files\MySQL'. If you do not install MySQL
      at `C:\mysql', you must specify the path to the install directory
      during startup or in an option file. See 
      windows-create-option-file.
 
   4. Extract the install archive to the chosen installation location
      using your preferred Zip archive tool. Some tools may extract the
      archive to a folder within your chosen installation location. If
      this occurs you can move the contents of the subfolder into the
      chosen installation location.
