MySQL WON'T UNINSTALL!!!!!

I want to reinstall, and it won't uninstall. Deleting the program and a few registry settings didn't help me either.

Since the program won't work, how can I manually uninstall it, and then bring in a fresh install?

Re: MySQL WON'T UNINSTALL!!!!!

What OS are you on? Did you make sure that the service is not running? That would probably be the first thing to check. Once it's stopped running, you should be able to uninstall it. You could also run the installer and see if there is a repair, modify and remove buttons.

XP.

I had the service off. Now I deleted registry entries and deleted files, and service won't start, but it still won't uninstall.

I used advance unistaller to remove it, but when I go to reinstall, it still thinks it has to uninstall.
