[QUOTE="djr, post: 1151636, member: 153880"] MySQL install fails with "Start service exception - Failed to install application MySQL5.6" on my Desktop computer but installs OK on my Laptop and my Media Server computer. My Desktop and Media Server are virtually identical Windows7 Professional 64bit machines. Any ideas? I had exactly same as JoeCrowe - an old installation of Canon Easy-WebPrint-EX that I uninstalled ages ago. I removed all the directories etc and MySQL still failed with "start service exception" and Easy-WebPrint popped back again! I eventually went into RegEdit and deleted every entry containing C:\program files (x86)\canon\easy-webprint-ex. THIS HAS FIXED IT! Now have MediaPortal working perfectly. The MySQR installer must have seen the mysqr bits in the canon easy-webprint entry as an existing mysqr (a 32 bit version) and wouldn't install the 64bit version. Regards to all especially JoeCrow.
