Can't get 6.602 to install on Windows to save my life

[OldAndInTheWay]

[mysql] mysql_query Failed = 1146
failed to update the configuration database

Then the urchin server fails to start for lack of permissions....

Occasionally I've gotten it to run on certain installations on certain
OS's, but then I can't log in because it "Can't create a session" or
"Can't start remote session."

I've installed this on:

Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit only)
Windows Server 2008 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 32 bit

I've installed urchin in the root, I've turned of UAC, I've installed
the Visual Studio 2008 (and 2005) runtimes, I've made all executables
run as administrator.

I've followed the instructions in the install document completely (At
this point I could probably do it in my sleep).

I'm using the "WAMP" server which uses 5.0.5 of mysql.

This worked fine on an XP box a month ago (the systems been around
collecting software for two or more years). I don't understand how
anyone has gotten this to work, because I sure can't!

I've finally gotten this to work by using the default PostgreSQL
database install, rather than using an already installed MySQL
database. Worked first time.

If anyone else has trouble installing if you're attempting to use
MySQL -- my advice: don't fight it. Use the PostgreSQL that's included
in the installation.

I need the MS-SQL version.
