Mysql server won't start on Windows 7 (1 reply)

I have unzipped mysql-5.7.16-win32.zip to c:/mysql on a 32 bit windows machine.
When I tried to start the MYSQL server using mysqld I receive the following error:

"2016-11-08T22:04:58.285346Z 0 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it."

The mysql_upgrade does not run because the MYSQL server which in fact I am trying to start is not up.

How do I solve the problem?
