Description:
I installed MySQL 5.1.31 on 64 bit vista machine. I was having problems configuring applying security setting on the database instance but failed miserably.

I decided to install older verion of mysql (5.1.30 64 bit). In order to do this I ran the installer to remove the old program but the MYSQL service still shows up in services dialog box. It is not being removed properly.

Has anyone reported this issue?

Thanks
Amitabh

How to repeat:
Install 5.1.31 on vista 64 bit OS.
Configure database
Run uninstaller
Service is still there and cannot be removed.

Uninstalling with configuration wizard

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat on Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the configuration wizard. The picture I attached shows last step and then using the Control Panel I verified that the service was removed. Have you tried to use the configuration wizard for?. Thanks in advance.

Facing the same problem of mysql service no remove properly upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1. Manage to remove it using procedure below:

Reinstall version of mysql where mysql is associated. configure instance and remove instants. And then uninstall old mysql ver. Mysql service should now be remove if you check under windows services.
