I set the listening port in the command line. It's quite simple to test: telnet on this port gives an error message when the mysqld.exe isn't started otherwise I get the connection. Same with mysql. So, the socket is opened but the communication fails.

I want to use it to generate an installer for Windows. I want to import a dump and pack this into the installer. The import takes a while that's why I don't want to import a file while installation. That's the same I would do using Postgres for instance.
