This has been a nightmare of a problem. I initially installed WAMP and everything worked fine. I restarted my computer and MySQL server hasn't worked since. I have been trying to install just MySQL and the "SQL Instance Config" freezes and when trying to start the service I receive the "Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly". I have searched for hours online trying all of the various solutions. These are the main ones that I recall seeing the most.
- Changing the install paths to ones without spaces
- Deleting all mySQL files and reinstalling
- Starting the services through the command Prompt
Here is a copy of the errors file. I believe somewhere with this InnoDB lies the problem, but I can't seem to be able to solve it.
- 121203 22:20:59 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

- 121203 22:20:59 [ERROR] Aborting
- 121203 22:20:59 [Note] C:\mysql\bin\mysqld: Shutdown complete
This seems like such a common problem, that I would think there would be more definitive solutions, but I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me out.
Thanks!
