MySQLserver reconfigution notice. Missing data folder.

am running Windows 7, 64 bit.

I am trying to install MySQL server. I have used the MySQL Installation Wizard to install and everything proceeds until i hit a post server configuration screen. I am told the server configuration succeeded but the screen i am presented with asks for quick action as follows:

MySQL server 5.7.10 x64 Reconfigure

Samples and Examples 5.7.10 x64 Reconfigure

I execute the reconfiguration but just loop round to the same screen asking for quick action.

I can see the MySQL server command line if my files. I tried running:

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld"

from command prompt and got a lot of text the beginning of which was:

C:\Program Files>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld"

mysqld: Can't change dir to 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\data\' (Err

code: 2 - No such file or directory)

Not sure i should print the whole text.

Any help? I was expecting the installation to complete with a user interface opening (maybe akin to SQL server management studio. Something with tables in etc). Instead, just the quick action reconfigure screen.

Thanks,
