You can download the MySQL Essentials version and make a few small changes to directories in the my.ini file to use relative paths instead of absolute paths. Then you can run the server directly without having to install or use a Windows service.
Download a MySQL .zip file (instead of an .msi, though you could get the .msi and use 7Zip or Orca to extract the files from it).
Extract the files. At a minimum you need the bin and share directories (actually, in bin, you really only need mysqld.exe as the absolute minimum to run a server).
Edit my.ini to change the basedir and datadir paths to something relative. For example:
basedir=".."
datadir="/MySQLdb"
If you do not have an existing database, then create one:
mysqld --bootstrap
Run the server (you may need to use the --skip-grant-tables switch to get it running until you have set up your MySQL user):
mysqld
To avoid the server being run in the current command-prompt, you can use the following to have it run in its own console which should disappear once it is running:
start mysqld
If you get errors, delete the log files (e.g., logs\ib_logfile*) and run it again.
