Windows安装MySql时出现“Failed to find valid data directory”的错误

        具体错误信息如下所示：

        解决办法：

1. 先手动删除我们创建的data文件夹
2. 删除Windows服务中的MySql服务，以管理员身份运行CMD，然后执行命令sc delete MySql；
   
3. 以管理员身份运行CMD并定位到MySql的安装bin目录，然后执行命令mysqld --initialize-insecure，执行完成后会自动创建data文件夹以及对应的所有文件；
   
   
4. 然后再执行命令mysqld --install安装MySql服务；
   

 

到此，问题得到解决。
