I have what I (and my boss) consider to be a sort of serious problem with an install. I've downloaded and installed (per an instructor's request), the latest version of MySQL. Granted, this is not a purchased package, but is required for a class in SQL I'm taking through Kaplan College. When I installed this to my machine at work, where I run a Windows 2000 O/S, I followed the instructions listed on your website, got the service running and thought I was walking through okay.
Then I attempted to install the Control Center and things started going wrong. The MySQL Control Center won't access the version of the client I have (4.1.0-Alpha) AND, I can't kill the process to remove it. The net stop turns into a terminal loop of some sort that never ends. The admin panel in Windows tries to stop the process, but it times out. I've tried to kill the mysql.exe file from the Task Manager and Access is denied. On the advice of my IT department, I tried to download and install the last stable version over the top to try to use the Uninstall to get back to where I was. That worked until it hit the exe file that was in use apparently, then the install died. I've weeded my way through my win.ini; autoexec.nt; and config.nt files trying to find the start commands for the process and they're not identifiable to me. I need help killing this thing before it gets threaded so far through my registry that I have to reload my O/S please. Help??!!
