How do you delete that service? The prob is still there if I reinstall.
Can it be that I have wamp installed?

Can it be that I have wamp installed?

Yes, can be... Wamp also installs MySQL so you should already have it

However.. If you can't find it then try uninstall wamp and then install MySQL first and install Wamp again after that.

[iwabo]

Nope, doesnt work, uninstalled both of them, installed mysql, same error come up when choosing windows service..

[Viter]

select a diffrend service instead of mysql 5

[iwabo]

Then it requires a current password, and this is the reason why i had to reinstall, forgot the password i took..

[Dythzer]

Try this to remove the service: Delete a Service

[iwabo]

The error is gone, but it still require a current password : /

Fixed it, went to C:\ProgramData\MySQL and deleted the folder there, didnt see that it installed something there aswell. But now I get a x on the start service button "Cannot create Windows service for MySQL5. Error: 0"... error after error : x

[Viter]

the password is even nothing or root :-)
try it worked for me

what? oO i got a diff prob now : P (read above your post)

[Dythzer]

Hmm.. Maybe you should try install MySQL 5.1 instead
MySQL :: Select a Mirror

[iwabo]

Have that one already :P, got past the start service thing.. but stopped at apply security settings

The security settings could not be applied to the database because the connection has failed with the following error.

Error Nr. 1045
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (Using password: NO)

If a personal firewall is running on your machine, please make sure you have opened the TCP port 3306 for connections. Otherwise no client application can connect to the server. After you have opened the port please press [Retry] to apply the security settings.

If you are re-installing after you just uninstalled the MySQL server please note that the data directory was not removed automatically. Therefore the old password from your last installations is still needed to connect to the server. In this case please select skin now and re-run the Configuration Wizard from the start menu.

And yes port 3306 is open
