I have installed MySql using mysql-installer-5.5.20.0msi on Windows

and in command prompt i have tried to run "mysqlshow -u root -p"

and when i entered password its showing an error

"Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)"

Try the following steps:



c:mysqlin>mysqld --install

c:mysqlin>mysqld --initialize

and click on

 "Windows key + R" type "services.msc", run as admin

This will resolve installation error “can t connect to mysql server on localhost 10061”.
