I recently purchesed the new book for WHS 2011 projects of which one details establishing a blog site. As I was following the detailed instructions that was laid out in the book, I encountered an error when it came time to install the My SQL Windows 5.1. Once I selected this application via the WPI Launcher, the application downloaded and appeared to have installed but I never received confirmation from the installer package (let it run for nearly an hour before I force-closed it). According to the Control Panel, it shows as "installed" (when I ran the repair option, didn't receive any errors), however, the service will not start. Since the service will not start, I cannot continue on with installing Wordpress. Any suggestions? I've uninstalled, re-booted without any success. Of note is that I had previously installed an Add-in (My Movies, I believe) which looks like had also installed My SQL Windows 5.1 so not sure if that may be complicated things a bit.
