How to install Mysql 5.0.29 in Windows 7 - mysql

I downloaded the zip file for Mysql 5.0.29, but there is no .exe file in the folder. No idea how to install it in Windows.
All the instructions online are saying to click a .exe file to start installation.
Can anyone help me a bit? Many thanks!

Here are instructions to install MySQL on windows, alternatively you can download MSI Installer and install on Windows.

You could get it done easily by a bit googling, just download the .msi file which you want from mysql site
Follow these simple steps and get it done

How to install MUMPS database in Windows 8.1?

I would like to install MUMPS database in Windows 8.1. I was trying to install but there is no exe file for MUMPS database. Can anyone give me a hand?. I downloaded a lot of files from this site https://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/files/ but still don't know where to start.
From the README for that project, you'll need to install Cygwin:
NOTES on cygwin
For Windows, install the Cygwin environment at http://cygwin.com/install.html
Run cygwin terminal (on win7 or win8 run it as administrator).
Setup the Cygserver using /usr/bin/cygserver-config.
edit /usr/include/cygwin/shm.h
add near end
#define SHM_R (IPC_R)
#define SHM_W (IPC_W)
edit /usr/include/cygwin/ipc.h
move third last #endif 3 lines up
Once you have Cygwin setup, the mumps.exe file available to download at the link you provide should run.
That said, I would agree with Evgeny in recommending you try the free evaluation version of InterSystems Caché. It is a far more accessible Mumps implementation for Windows and it has an extensive set of libraries for common functionality.

Canopy configuration / preferences directory

It is ~/.canopy

Installing mySQL for windows

I downloaded mySQl zip file from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ . I downloaded the 216 MB file given in the bottom of the page. I extracted the zip file. But I cannot figure out how to install mySQL for windows. There is no setup.exe file or an MSI installer. This is what I got after extracting the zip file :- http://i.stack.imgur.com/fBA2W.png
Please tell me how to continue. P.S. that I have tagged java because I have to use mySQL for java. :P
You can download the installer file from here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/5.6.html
Here is the the MySQL documentation for Installing MySQL on Microsoft Windows Using a noinstall Zip Archive: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-install-archive.html

the libmysql.dll file is located in the bin directory of your mysql installation.
This file needs to be a copy of it in the Ruby\bin directory.

mysql 5.5.9 -- install in windows

I just downloaded zipped-up version of mysql 5.5.9 (mysql-5.5.9.zip, which I put in c:\progream files), unzipped it, and got this dir (screenshot):
http://mayacove.com/misc/ss_mysql.gif
I hadn't installed mysql server on windows in a few years.. I remember that years ago you used to get an installer called setup.exe, when you ran that it ran instal/config wizard, that would walk you thru installation and setup.. so how do I run that wizard now???
no file with ext .exe inside this dir (no file with ext .msi either) no serious instructions here
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/windows-installation-layout.html
would appreciate some help.. thank you very much...
There is a package available with a MSI installer.
Just follow the instructions on http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
You should use msi installer. It's on download page first or second option.
