Hi Tracy, all,
I am following up to my own mail, as Tracy's reply was not sent to the list.
In most cases (including this one), this is _no_ good idea, as the
"collective wisdom" of the list is greater than a personal one, and
others might be interested in the responses as well.

Dear sir,
I am trying to uninstall my old Mysql version 4.0, however, I don't know
how to. Please give me some directions on how to do that.
You have a very high trust in the capabilities of our crystal balls ...
For a question like this, you should definitely _at least_ tell your
platform and the package format you used for installation, also the
exact MySQL version might be interesting.
These are the informations Tracy sent me:
| I have version 4.0.18 presently installed. I am operating on Windows XP
| Professional with SP2 (that means service pack 2 in case your crystal
| ball doesn't clarify that for you). The installation was performed using
| Winzip to extract the files to my C: drive and then I ran Setup.exe.
So you used a package with an included installer.
AFAIK, a right-click on the package and/or calling the installer again
should provide you with an option to "uninstall".
Windows users might check / correct / explain better.

| to uninstall the application, I would like to get some instructions
| on that.
These should be in the manual, not on the web site in general.
| Hopefully this is sufficient information for you to instruct me on the
| procedures necessary to uninstall your product.
Just very general, see above.
Maybe you did not notice, but I am definitely _not_ a Windows expert
(even though I know the term "SP2"), so I refer you to the list for
further details.
HTH,
Joerg
