MySQL Installation Layout on Microsoft Windows

MySQL Installation Layout on Microsoft Windows
For MySQL 5.6 on Windows, the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 5.6. Some Windows users prefer to install in C:\mysql, the directory that formerly was used
as the default. However, the layout of the subdirectories remains the same.
All of the files are located within this parent directory, using the structure shown in the following table.
If you install MySQL using the MySQL Installer, this package creates and sets up the data directory
that the installed server will use, and also creates a pristine “template” data directory named data
under the installation directory. After an installation has been performed using this package, the
template data directory can be copied to set up additional MySQL instances. See Section 5.6, “Running
Multiple MySQL Instances on One Machine”.
