This solved my problem. /* temporary fix for problem with windows installer for MySQL 5.6.10 on Windows 7 machines. I did the procedure on a clean installed MySql, and it worked for me, at least it stopped lines of innodb errors in the log and the use of transient innodb tables. So, do it at your own risk.. drop these tables from mysql: innodb_index_stats innodb_table_stats slave_master_info slave
