Did you deleted the data dir (inside Program Files) after uninstall ?? i
think that is was not empty and when the new install tries to set up
finds it and get messy (maybe because the 32 and 64 bit issue).

I had previously installed the 64-bit version of MySQL 5.1 server

which I am working I realized I needed to install the 32-bit version
of MySQL 5.0 server. Since I did not see anything about installing
both on the same machine, I decided to uninstall the 64-bit version
and then install the 32-bit version. The uninstall ran successfully.
When I installed MySQL 5.083 32-bit under Windows Vista x64 it
installed successfully. When I try to configure an instance of that
version, all steps work successfully until the "Apply Security
Settings" step, which fails. The failure message is:
The security settings could not be applied to the database because the
connection has failed with the following error.
Error Nr. 1045
Accessed denied for user 'root'@'localhost' [using password: YES]'
I have never changed the password from the previous 64-bit version I
installed and then uninstalled and the 32-bit version I installed.
Any ideas of solving this problem ?
