These are instructions for installing on Windows 7 desktop using individual components rather than a one click installer. This is intended only as a testing/evaluation install via 'localhost'. Proper server configuration and security is not considered.

At the time of writing this was from a very obvious graphic at the top of the screen (which I missed the first time).
- Run the installation. Click...
- Install MySQL products

- At 'Choose a Setup Type' accept the "Developer Default" and click Next
