enable bin-log in mysql 5.6

[Troy Pearce]

Hi there,

I am trying to add binary logging into mysql 5.6.3 enterprise advanced edition on a windows 2012 server.

I add the following to the my.ini file:

log-bin=E:\MySQL\MySQL_Server_5_6\binlogs\bin

When i restart mysql i get:

MySQL: File 'E:\MySQL\MySQL_Server_5_6inlogsin.index' not found (Errcode: 22 - Invalid argument)
2016-09-01 09:32:51 5536 [ERROR] Aborting

I have done this a million times before on older versions of mysql in linux but first time in windows. Am i missing something? Thank you.
