 2.3.2 Choosing An Installation Package
 --------------------------------------
 
 Starting with MySQL version 4.1.5, there are three install packages to
 choose from when installing MySQL on Windows. The Packages are as
 follows:
 
    * *The Essentials Package*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-essential-4.1.9-win32.msi' and contains the minimum files
      needed to install MySQL on Windows, including the Configuration
      Wizard. This package does not include optional components such as
      the embedded server and benchmark suite.
 
    * *The Complete Package*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-4.1.9-win32.zip' and contains all files needed for a
      complete Windows installation, including the Configuration Wizard.
      This package includes optional components such as the embedded
      server and benchmark suite.
 
    * *The Noinstall Archive*: This package has a filename similar to
      `mysql-noinstall-4.1.9-win32.zip' and contains all the files found
      in the Complete install package, with the exception of the
      Configuration Wizard. This package does not include an automated
      installer, and must be manually installed and configured.
 
 
 The Essentials package is recommended for most users.
 
 Your choice of install package affects the installation process you
 must follow.  If you choose to install either the Essentials or
 Complete install packages, see  Windows using installer. If you
 choose to install MySQL from the Noinstall archive, see  Windows
 install archive.
