Answer 1

I have done it by the following way

1. Start cmd
2. Go to the "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin"
3. type mysqld --install

Like the following image. See for more information.

Answer 2

Go to your mysql bin directory and install mysql service again:

c: cd \mysql\bin mysqld-nt.exe --install 

or if mysqld-nt.exe is missing (depending on version):

mysqld.exe --install 

Then go to services, start the service and set it to automatic start.
