Error:0 - VARIED SOLUTIONS Posted by: Jean-Paul Bourdais cannot create windows service for mysql error 0 windows 8 () Date: February 08, 2009 09:35AM Long post I know.

to get rid of all the profile application data. So ensure that you - uninstall the instance (including server) using instance configuration wizard, (in C:\Program Files\MySQL\My SQL Server 5.1\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe), choosing remove. - now remove MySQL via Control Panel->add/remove programs, may need to F5 refresh list if not there. - make sure MySQL dir in C:\Program Files is now deleted in its entirety. There may be old Data files lying around. - *most importantly*, mysql server instance configuration wizard could not start the service make sure that any MySQL dir in the following dirs are deleted.

And what we do is we just delete the directory in which new installation has been done & http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,19373,246717 starts the installation wizard one-more time in the hope that this time we gonna install it. Again the result is same "Cannot create Windows service for MySQL.Error:0" So why are we getting error that too at the last step? one common thought is "there must be something wrong or some sort of bug in the new release" How to resolve this error?

Solution for this error is to first stop the service if it is running and then remove the service. C:\>NET STOP MYSQL The MySQL service is stopping. The MySQL service was stopped successfully. Once the service is stopped, it can be removed with the SC utility: C:\>SC DELETE MYSQL [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS With the previous service stopped and removed, you can now run the MySQL Configuration Wizard again to configure and start the new MySQL service.

Error:0 how to get mysql 5.5 error 0 server running? up vote 1 down vote favorite I tried to upgrade to MySQL 5.5 from 5.1. When I try to run Instance Configuration Wizard I get this error: Could not start the service MySQL. Error:0 I am to the point now that I would be happy just to have a fresh install of MySQL 5.5. I can repopulate the database after. Things I have tried: Restart the machine and try Instance Configuration Again Uninstall all MySQL error 0 cannot software and making sure that there was no service and reinstall search registry to make sure there was no MySQL entries. I tried to check the .err log, but there was none to be found. Googled online to see if anyone was having same issue. Several people were but there was no simple solution.
