Mysql Service on Local Computer Started and then Stopped

My findings with v 5.7.12.0...

The brain-dead installer needs help with adding entries to MY.INI.

Firstly, it failed to add a correctly formatted path for the 'datadir' parameter, as in it didn't quote the path which had spaces in and it mixed forward and backslashes.

Secondly, it mangled the path for the logs that I'd entered, turning what I'd browsed for - note: "browsed for", not "typed"!! - which was "C:/ProgramData/MySQL/Logs/[machine_name]_General.log" to "C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL/Lgs/[machine_name]_General.log". Other log entries also had to have their paths quoted.

Once these were corrected, the service started.
