Error 0xc00007b when starting mysqld.exe

[Sepp Lubringer]

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to install a mySQL server instance (MySQL 5.7.18) via the installer on my notebook and on the final step of the installation (apply configuration) I always get the error: 0xc00007b

Unfortunatly I'm quite a newbie to SQL and have no clue how to solve this.


I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1 x64


Regards SL
