Re: uninstall/reinstall
We're talking about a Windows machine, right? I don't have any of those these days but it sounds to me like it didn't thoroughly uninstall. If that much is correct, I'd first be suspicious of junk left in the registry or data directories. Even if it meant I had to install it again, I'd use a separate uninstaller. Uninstallers are usually a little more aggressive about getting to the registry and data directories and stuff of that nature. The one I used to use is free and, in my experience, quite good. Revo Uninstaller [ http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html ] If that doesn't do it, then I would try cleaning out the registry. Proceed with all due caution because this potentially can create a number of other other problems. In fact, some people are decidedly against the use of any utility which claims to clean your registry. So I'm just telling you how I used to roll, in my Windows heyday. My preferred tool for this was also free and, in my experience, quite good. CCleaner [ http://www.piriform.com/download ] Good luck!

Barracuda 400 vers 3.5.12 Checked - Virus Free I ran into a similar problem a few weeks ago. The solution, in my case, was that you must first stop the MySQL process, uninstall with the provided uninstall utility, then manually go through Program Files and ProgramData (possibly a folder in your Users directory as well) to delete all references to MySQL. When the installer is run for the most current version of MySQL that you've downloaded, it won't ask for the previous password and it will be as if you're installing a fresh copy. If I remember correctly, you can still do this now even after you've already uninstalling the original version of MySQL. I should mention this was all done in Win7 64-bit; you may need to modify folder names if you're on WinXP.
Re: uninstall/reinstall
You mention the Windows installer has Hung. I have seen this before...try killing the process with task manager and then log into your server via the client. -- Sent from my HTC Desire on 3 -- - Reply message - From: ext Tyler Poland tpol...@engineyard.com Date: Tue, Oct 19, 2010 17:50 Subject: uninstall/reinstall To: mysql@lists.mysql.com mysql@lists.mysql.com Tammie, You might just try resetting the root password http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-windows.

RE: uninstall/reinstall
Thanks all - The solution was to change the password for root, kill the installer using task manager and start the server. I used the Workbench to manage the database instance. It all seems to be working fine now.

Can't uninstall, reinstall, or otherwise get 4.0.12 to work on Mac OS X
I recently installed MySQL 4.0.12 on Mac OS X (using the package provided in the downloads section) and I must have corrupted something because I can't get the mysql command to work. I thought the easiest thing to do would be to uninstall the whole thing and start over, but I can't figure out how to do that. I went to Marc Liyanages' website and downloaded his uninstall script, but it seems that the default name of the package has changed since he wrote that script, and I don't know enough about shell scripts to do much. I have 3.23.52 up and running on another OS X computer, but I really need a working version on my iBook. Any help, pointers, or insight greatly appreciated!

I think we should start adding a chapter Uninstalling MySQL to the manual :) Anyway, on Mac OS X it does not seem to be possible to removed installed PKGs using some Package Management tool. To remove MySQL, you have to recursively delete the following directories (make sure to backup any important tables!): rm -rf /usr/local/mysql rm -rf /usr/local/mysql-version rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql-version.pkg Hope that helps!
