MySQL Neu-Installation

1. (Stop the MySQL service. Not sure why the uninstall program doesn't offer to do this, but it doesn't, so you have to do it manually.)
2. Uninstall MySQL.
3. Delete the following folders:
   • MySQL program files folder. For me this was C:\Program Files\MySQL.
   • MySQL database folder. For me this was C:\MySQL Datafiles.
   • MySQL application data folder. For me this was C:\ProgramData\MySQL. On a pre-Vista operating system, this will likely be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MySQL or some such.
4. Reinstall MySQL.
