Infobright Enterprise Edition (IEE) service won't start?

I went to www.infobright.com, downloaded Infobright Enterprise Ed开发者_如何学Cition (IEE), and installed it. However, the service won't start, and it gives me absolutely no hint as to what the error is and why.

Infobright is just MySQL with a custom engine that implements a column based database with high compression.

Go into C:\Program Files\Infobright\bin, and type:

mysqld --console

This starts Infobright in standalone console mode (rather than in service mode). The command line parameter "--console" pipes any errors to the console (rather than swallowing the errors to a file hidden somewhere on the hard drive). You will receive something similar to the following:

C:\Program Files\Infobright\bin>mysqld --console

For the 64-bit version of Infobright, copy the .lic file to:

C:\Program Files\InfoBright

For the 32-bit version of Infobright, copy the .lic file to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\InfoBright

and you will get something like the following:

C:\Program Files\Infobright\bin>mysqld --console

At this point, we know that everything is working, so we can kill this process by pressing Ctrl-C, and start the service. It will now work.
