So I installed MySQL 5.6.15 from a zip file, on window 7, and I am trying to configure Innodb using a my.ini config file. The config file is working fine until I try to start setting the Innodb options. I am following the instructions found here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-configuration.html
but for some reason the server will not start once I add the following line to specify the innodb file path:
innodb_data_file_path=C:/mysql/innodb_data/ibdata1:50M;ibdata2:50M:autoextend
the server had created a ibdata1 file in the install directory when I started the server up the first time is this why the server gives me an error when I try to restart it after I change the option in the my.ini file
Please help.

To be more specific the error I am getting after adding the above line to the my.ini file is:
Windows could not start the MySQL service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
When I remove the line specifying the innodb_data_file_path the MySQL service starts right up.
