I ran into a snag here:
"c) Now it is time to create the database.
The following assumes you have used my tip to rename the files to something easier to type!
Launch a command prompt window and navigate to your C:\EQ\SQL folder by typing:
cd c:\EQ\SQL
Then enter mysql -uroot -ppassword where password is the password you chose when installing MySQL.
You should be presented with a mysql> prompt. If you do not, and it says it cannot find "mysql" please refer to (link) Adding MySql to your "Path"
Assuming you are now logged in, you can now create your database."
Back in step 3b using method 2. I was never asked to setup a password for MySQL when installing XAMPP. I messed around with it a bit and got past it using this site:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...st-using-passw
Figured I would mention it.
