We had installed Hyperic4.5.1 and mySQL 5.1 community edition successfully on Windows server 2003.
However after a re-boot of the windows server, due to update installation, mySQL fails to start.
Initial error was returned as follows
110526 13:02:51 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
InnoDB: Unrecognized value O_DIRECT for innodb_flush_method
110526 13:02:51 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
110526 13:02:51 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed.
110526 13:02:51 [ERROR] Unknown/unsupported table type: innodb
110526 13:02:51 [ERROR] Aborting
110526 13:02:51 [Note] D:\MySQL\bin\mysqld: Shutdown complete
quick search around discovered a statement saying under windows the only supported flush method is innodb_flush_method=async_unbuffered
so we amended my.ini and attempted to restart mySQL
we now get this message.

We cannot find either an ib_logfile0 or any .cnf file on the server. We assume we would be looking in my.ini instead of in a .cnf file.
in which case the value for the innodb logfile size is set to 256Mb.
Can anyone suggest how we resolve this.
