Unable to install MySQL server on Windows 7

 

If you’re having trouble installing MySQL 5.1 on a Windows server try the below steps:

 

 

1) Remove previous MySQL installs (and remaining items ).

 

a.  Stop the MySQL service ( Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services)

 

b.  Remove MySQL using Windows Add or Remove Programs (Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs)

 

c.  Clean up (delete) the data directory  (assuming that you don’t have data that you need) c:  documents and settingsall users application data mysql.

 

d.  Clean up (delete) any remaining directories under program files c: program files MySQL MySQL Server 5.1 (or whatever version you’re using).

 

Now reinstall the software using the Msi file and make sure you reconfigure your Mysql Instance server.
