Howdy All!
When I tried to install the new MySql, I got the result below:
C:\mysql\bin>mysqld --install The service already exists! The current server installed: C:\mySql\bin\mysqld-nt
C:\mysql\bin>
My problem is this: I used the "add remove programs" utility to remove the old MySql server, but in Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services it *still* has a service there for MySql. There seems to be no facility to remove this through the services utility or msconfig. How can I do this?
I solved this problem by nuking all entries in the registry containing the String "C:\mySql\bin\mysqld-nt" - there were two of them.
have you ever heard the word _manual_ ;-)
eg. file:///usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.56/manual.html
[not tested c:\>mysqld-nt /?]
2.1.2.1 Installing the Binaries
1. If you are working on an NT/2000/XP server, logon as a user with administrator privileges.
2. If you are doing an upgrade of an earlier MySQL installation, it is necessary to stop the server. If you are running the server as a service, use:
C:\> NET STOP MySQL
Otherwise, use:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root shutdown
3. On NT/2000/XP machines, if you want to change the server executable (e.g., -max or -nt), it is also necessary to remove the service:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld-max-nt --remove
