2005-01-17 Thread Uriel Wittenberg
Hi all. I had both 3.23 and 4.0 separately listed in my WinXP/Home "Add or Remove Programs" list. I was able to remove 4.0 but not 3.23. (It says it's stopping because it can't locate file uninst.isu.) Also, I still have MYSQL listed in ctl panel / admin tools / services and don't see how to r
