    Description

      In Windows the service gets stuck in "Starting", as shown in the services applet. It started fine the first time, then I changed my.cnf so data would be stored in a different drive, stopped the service, copied the data directory to the new drive, set the permissions on the new destination so "everybody" would have full rights, then the service started, I loaded a 40 GB of data just fine. Then I stopped the service, and it never started again. I rebooted and it still did not start. I can give you access to the box. It is a development box accessible via remote desktop.
      Note: there are no messages in the windows application log.

          Investigation has shown that the server did not start because my.ini file did not exist in the location configured for the Windows service. Creating the required path fixed the issue.

          However, it is still a bug because the service shouldn't hang, it should fail with a proper error message (as a normal standalone server does if it's started with a non-existing --defaults-file).
