Re: How do you unistall the mysql entry in Services

Or just delete the "MySQL" key from the registry located in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Or if you have the administration resource kit you could use the service
uninstaller, but deleting the registry key is probably easiest. Cheers.

P.S. I'm sure I don't need to remind you to perform a backup of the
registry before making changes to it, but I will just incase :)

RE: How do you unistall the mysql entry in Services

Just go to the Registry and traverse through these key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
You find an entry for MySQL there , delete the entry and reboot the =
system.MySQL entry will not be shown in services now.

PS:Please be careful while dealing with Windows Registry
