Installing mySQL on Windows

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi all. 

The PC running mySQL server I’ve been using for some time took a dump. Thankfully I’ve been running a daily backup. Now I am trying to install mySQL server 64 bit on a new server, but it seems there is no installer! Instructions tell my to run some console commands. Is that the only way to do it?? I don’t remember jumping through all those hoops before, but it was many years ago.
