Description:
Windows installer removes service named MySQL from other version of MySQL installed

How to repeat:
1. Install MySQL 5.0, configure it, name service as MySQL (default)
2. Install MySQL 6.0.6
3. Start configuration wizard, but press "Cancel" in middle, so service is not configured.
4. Uninstall MySQL 6.0.6
5. Find there is no service MySQL

Problem occurs if use installer, not Windows remove/add program interface.

MySQL config wizard is superseded in newer Server versions, and MySQL 6.0 is obsolete.

Thank you for the bug report. We are closing this report now for two related reasons:
* MySQL Server 6.0 is an unreleased, unsupported and obsolete version of MySQL Server
* For recent MySQL Server versions, the config wizard is no longer available, and the MySQL Installer for Windows is the recommended way to install MySQL Server on Windows
