Upgrade steps or README for MySQL 4.0.12 to 5.0.45

[SantaMufasa]

I have backed up all of my MySQL databases from our 4.0.12 instance running on Windows.

I must upgrade to 5.0.45. I have downloaded and unzipped the 5.0.45 installation file from the MySQL website.

I have searched for, but cannot find, any "README" instructions that provide upgrade steps/instructions.

Can you either point me to the README file that I'm not finding, or can you post the steps I must follow for a successful 4.0.12-to-5.0.45 upgrade?
