You didn't mention what platform you are on.
If you have Firewall installed on your computer, that can sometimes make it hard to run the installation of MYSQL beta version on Windows XP sucessfully.
I recommend you reinstall MYSQL again and be sure that the installation was successful. You should be able to run and restart it successfully.

If you want an all in one easy to install web server check out Xampp.
