If you have problems uninstalling MySQLServer 5.5(mysql-5.5.9-win32.msi) in Windows 7, there are 4 easy steps.
Run C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe >> NEXT>> REMOVE Instance>> NEXT>> EXECUTE>> FINISH
Run MySQLServer Installer 5.5(mysql-5.5.9-win32.msi) >> NEXT>> REMOVE>> REMOVE>> OK>> FINISH
Delete the folder C:\Program Files\MySQL
Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\MySQL
REINSTALL MySQLServer 5.5(mysql-5.5.9-win32.msi) - With NEW PASSWORD...
hopefully useful..work 100%
This is actually will remove all the MySQL modules installed on your computer. If you want to remove a specific module, can be done this way:
- same as above
- Run MySQLServer Installer 5.5(mysql-5.5.9-win32.msi) >> NEXT>> REMOVE >> just remove the specific module ie: MySQL Server.
- Delete the folder of the module you want to delete ie: C:\Program Files\MySQL<MySQL Server 5.5>
- No need to delete C:\ProgramData\MySQL since it will be overwritten by step 5
- Reinstall the module using the .msi file.
Hope this helps more ;)
