Hi,
it seems that the path is not set correctly so the service
will not start. I have tried the following *.BAT file to
start both MySQL and APACHE and it works fine.
You can also start APACHE as a service unter NT/2000/XP by
starting it once with APACHE -i.

STARTALL.BAT

@echo off
cd c:\apache\mysql\bin
start "MySQL-Server" /MIN mysqld-nt.exe -bC:\apache\mysql
cd c:\apache
start "APACHE" /MIN apache.exe
exit
@echo on
