Hello.

I'm using mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r11a-win32 and mysql-5.0.27.
In the configure service tab you mentioned I can only set paths to the
server executable and the configuration file my.ini.
What was wrong was the path to the query browser's exe.
But I found registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySQL
AB\MySQL Administrator and ...\MySQL Query Browser where the paths to
the installation directory are set.
Deleting them and reinstalling the gui-tools did the trick.

But what's funny: both entries had the path to the old installation
directory but only the query browser complained. Starting the
administrator was no problem...

Anyway, thanks for the help.
Greetings
