Okay,so here goes,I have read and tried nearly every single solution to solve my problem prior to posting here on the forums. Here is my issue, every time I try to install MySQL Server I get to the step where I start service and service never is able to start. I have tried various versions of MySQL server including manual installation and using the MSI installer versions.
System:
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit O.S.
Administrator account
Steps in which I took in uninstalling MySQL;
Used Instance Config to remove instances
ran cmd "sc delete MySQL"
Uninstall from Control Panel
Made sure no folders existed
Deleted- C:\Program Files\MySQL
Deleted- C:\All Users\Application Data\MySQL
Deleted- C:\ProgramData\MySQL
Deleted- Installer I used originally
Rebooted My server I intend to run MySQL on.
Checked- C:\Program Files\MySQL (was not on drive after reboot)
Checked- C:\Program Files(x86)\MySQL (was not on drive after reboot)
Checked- C:\All Users\Application Data\MySQL (was not on drive after reboot)
Checked- C:\ProgramData\MySQL (was not on drive after reboot)
Closed- McAfee Firewall (just incase)
Closed- Windows Firewall (just incase)
Searched System for; SQL, MySQL, My SQL, Enterprise, my sql, mysql and more
to ensure there were no traces of the old installation on my Server.
Downloaded a fresh install: MySQL Server Essentials MSI (64 bit) v5.1.49
Ran MSI Installer
Configured it, Default Port, Default Installation Paths, etc.(correctly)
"execute" here, thanks to my many attempts to start my service have ran into a slew of error messages mainly;
"Could not start the service MySQL" &
"Cannot create Windows service for MySQL. Error 0"
Here is my error log:
"100815 18:25:55 [ERROR] Aborting
100815 18:25:55 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
100815 18:26:00 InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233

100815 18:26:24 [Note] C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld: Shutdown complete"
After all of this I come here to post as a last resort, What on earth am I doing incorrectly? To whoever helps me to solve this issue I thank you in advance as I have spent countless hours trying to get any configuration to work properly with no prevail!
