There are some minor configuration changes and existing enviormental
conditions that must be present. For example I know that Windows boxes
typically have a TEMP variable set to c:\temp, %windir%\temp,
%userprofile%\local settings\temp, etc. But for UNIX-y applications a
c:\tmp directory must be created. I recall using a Windows MySQL
client/server setup when our company tested out a POS/Inventory
product. MySQL pretty much installed out of the box with a couple of
tweaks here and there...
