[Help!] MySQL issue Mangos

[Doogar]

I cannot run the configuration for MySQL, every time I do, the following error pops up:

C:\program Files\MySQL Sever 5.0\bin\MySQL Instance Config.exe

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side 
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event 
log for more details.

I did previously have MySQL installed, but it has been deleted in its entirety due to an issue that came up with it. I've been trying a couple days now to get my server running, and although it was at a point where i could log on but no mobs loaded, I now seem to be further back than when i started. At least when i had started, I could install my files.

Well i sugged you to use Amber, they got there own installer and then your done with install you can start up full website and full mysql database from there control panel

And your allways able to update amber for the amber team release there scripts every pacth and sometimes just for fixes - i have tested amber for 5 days now in allmost all instances and i have seen like 90% of all of it work like normal ( retail ) in thouse 100-300 privat servers i have played on then amber is the most scripted and best release ever ^_^

Yes, that may be so. However, that doesn't solve my problem. i need to be able to remove the Process MySQL so that i can reinstall. As it is, my pc has convinced itself I'm trying to run 2 MySQL processes.

*i need to be able to remove the Process MySQL so that i can reinstall*
Ctrl+alt+delete

and then go to progress and then shut down the progress you got up

Tut Tut.

I assume you need to stop all mysql functions?

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

Scroll down to MySQL -> Right click -> All Tasks -> Stop

To remove:

Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove programs (on previous version of windows) On server 2008 and vista the option is Programs and Features. -> MySQL Server 5.1 (or your version) -> Uninstall.

 

[Doogar]

Yes, need to remove the process. But i've used add/remove programs and the process still exists, just won't run. I'll try it again anyway though.

 

[Doogar]

Hmm, it's still a process and the same problem exists. :/

 

[Doogar]

Okay, I've made a mistake :/ It's not a process, rather, its a service. Miscommunication on my part and i apologize. A process I can deal with Services i haven't got a clue except to stop them.

This has been resolved by ignoring the existing service completely and installing a newer version of MySQL. The problem is still there, but its been bypassed. Thanks to all who tried to help
