I've read about MySQL replication and i need to change some configuration but I can't find the file my.cnf or my.ini. I don't know which MySQL version I have but I've downloaded it a long time ago, as a .zip. My box runs Windows 7 64. Where can i find this file? Should I create it? Where? Thank you.

The my. ini is in hidden folder of program data. First go to C: drive and then hidden folder of program data. From that, move to the MySQL version directory.
cnf is called my. ini on Windows) file will be located will correspond to the directory where the MySQL data directory is located. On Linux, it will probably be /var/lib/mysql/my.
I do not have Window present at the moment, but I think it should reside in the C:\WINDOWS\ directory.
When invoking help on GNU/Linux with mysql --help it shows (excerpt):
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
Maybe you can get the same information on Windows, too.
Btw: with mysql --version you can get your current version.
