On Demand Starting of MySQL Instance

I have a few users who currently have at least one MySQL database running on their machines. I am working on a program in VB.Net 2010 that needs a database to store information. I have been reading that it is possible to have more than one instance of the MySQL server running.

I have been experimenting but cannot figure out how to start an instance of MySQL with VB 2010 on demand. I believe that I have to start my instance with it's own port and since the other databases run on the default port 3306, I was thinking I should use a different one. I am not sure how to pass the correct options to the mysqld program. I am not sure if I should be using a --defaults-file option or --init-file option.

Can someone point me in the right direction with some VB code and which port I should use? I need to be able to start my own server as well as stop it without interrupting the other MySQL instance. TIA, rasinc
