Hi

I have installed three different sourceforge applications (BigApache, apache2Triad & WebServ, the first two on 1st try, and then WebServ on 2nd try) which includes a runtime version of MySQL.

Even I un-installed the applications, I can see the two MySQL services are still running in my machine ('Mysq' & 'MySQKL') and I have received an error message whenever the machine is rebooted, (I supposed because the application is no longer existed)

If I tried to re-installed one of the application, MySQL server will not start-up, and basically I cannot use the web server application any more.

Is there anyway I can remove the two MySQL services from the service list?

I am looking forwards to receiving your advice.

Thank you in advanced.

  under the mysql\bin dir
  execute this command
  mysqld -remove
  this will remove the mysql service
  you might have to reboot and do it again to remove both of them
