The simplest install doesn't work!!!

[geoffrey1211]

I have tomcat 6.0 installed already, so I stopped it before I run alf_start.bat.

when i run alf_start.bat, it says mainly the following 2 things:
    CONTENT INTEGRITY ERROR: Indexes not found for 7 stores.
    CONTENT INTEGRITY ERROR: System content not found in content store.
    Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.

I already added dir.root to the system variables AND in alfresco.bat also.
Can someone please tell me why installing Alfresco is so difficult?
Attached below the detailed log.

Thank you,
Geoffrey

a bit more background info:

I am using the following:
Full Alfresco install for Windows, excluding JDK

I already have Java 6, and tomcat installed.  I have stopped tomcat's service already.
I have installed MySQL, and that according to the log doesn't seem to be a problem (YET).

Please help me out, Alfresco engineers…  thanks!
