Re: Can't get MySQL 5.5 to install on Windows 7

Hi, Marcos:

Here is the SQL:

alter table `mysql`.`user`
change `authentication_string` `authentication_string` text;


Even when the configuration wizard bombs so it won't add the root@% user, you can still log in as root at localhost (login to the database as root on the same machine on which the server resides), and execute this SQL.
