MySQL START SERVICE EXCEPTION (1 Viewer)

[ziton]

I'm have real problems installing and starting MYSQL 5.1.
I've reinstalled it fresh but it wont start.
I've tried to configure it still wont start.
(The Service could not be started Error:0)
I think a setting is off but I don't know what it is.
Little help please?
Has anyone seen this before?

I just ran into this when installing MediaPortal v1.6.0 with a clean installation to get MySQL v5.6. Even after uninstalling MediaPortal (including the TV server), uninstalling MySQL, removing the C:\ProgramData\MySQL and C:\Program Files\MySQL folders, and rebooting several times, the problem still persisted upon install.

I determined that the MySQL service was not being removed. By running the command: "sc delete MySQL" from the Windows command prompt, I was able to remove the MySQL service and successfully perform an install of MediaPortal v1.6.0 with MySQL v5.6.
