ok, just wanna add something. If you follow all instructions and the configuration wizard runs, but then the service won't start just look at event log. My computer had a funny computer name with some Russian characters in it and MySQL was unable to create some files (xxx.pid in particular) in the data folder and threw up an error. Changed computer name and Bingo. Maybe this would have been solved by installing the UTF8 version instead of standard char. version, don't know.
