when mysql is fired up via the console, it seems to want to use this folder C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data as it's data folder.
Strangely and stupidly, that's been a MySQL default data folder setting.

To get the server program to point at the correct data folder, add --datadir=PathToDatadir to the command line.

Once MySQL is running against the correct datadir without errors, recnfigure the service in services.msc with the same cmd.
