MySQL setup problem ---- innodb_data_file_path not set

[Guest_imported]

After i extract and setup MySQL under win98 and then try to run at the command prompt: mysqld --standalone
i get an error saying: "Can't initialize innoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' not set"

What is innoDB?
What do i do?

I get that same line. I am not sure what it means but if that is the only line your getting then MySql is up and running. I found this tool for MySql for the windows enviorment and let me tell you it makes mysql very easy to use. In the sense of making databases and tables. You nee MySqladmin for windows interface with mysql for server administration.
