An error occurred while installing MYSQL: a windows service with the name MYSQL already... service solved

I uninstalled mysql5.1 today and want to install MYSQL 5.5. the installation prompt is: a windows service with the name MYSQL already exists. Please uninstall this service correctly or choose a different name for the new service.

You can try to delete the residual registry information HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services. find the MySQL registry information and delete it. then, reinstall mysql!

After this step, the system prompts: Cannot create windows service for mysql. error: 0

WIN + R enter the CMD command line:

C:/Users/Stone> SC delete mysql

[SC] DeleteService successful

C:/Users/Stone>

Then we can get it done!
