Install Error - How to Fix

Hello

At one time I had (or at least partially) installed mysql on my
laptop. I went to install a new version and I am getting the following error:

A windows service with the name MySql already exists. Please
uninstall this service correctly or choose a different name for the
new service.

How do I uninstall this service?

Thanks,
Andrew

Sounds like you have not the permissions

Which way was the old version installed?
Why not remove the old version with the control panel -> software?

Re: Install Error - How to Fix

I installed everything using the standard gui=20
install. I tried to uninstall Mysql and it says I=20
am not an administrator even though I am logged in as one.

sounds like vista/win7 and UAC what has nothing to do with mysql
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691%28WS.10% 29.aspx

no idea, not using windows-crap since 2006 with the exception of
Server 2008 R2 for our VMware-vCenter-Server, and yes on this
machine you can not open many folders as "administrator"

get a real operating system :-)
