  <p>But I am still stuck with the ages old question!
  "Where is my my.ini"
  I am using windows server 2008 with mysql 5.5.28. I installed the service using mysqld --install and I am able to use the mysql server using sqlyog. But unfortunately I am not able to find my.ini in <code>installation directory</code> or not in <code>c:\</code> neither in <code>c:\windows</code> nor in <code>data_dir</code> query <code>show variables like "mysql_home"</code> returned nothing as well.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
