Thank you for the bug report. That was a fresh install (i.e: without prior data directory or my.ini file)?. Thanks.

Not a fresh install. History: - first time install, 5.5.18 on target machine (sometime in February 2012 or beginning of March 2012) - update via automatic update to 5.5.19 - update via automatic update to 5.5.20 // i do not recall if i ever updated to 5.5.21 - attempt update via automatic update to 5.5.22, reported success, but version number did not change (remained 5.5.22) - retry update to 5.5.22 via automatic update, same result - uninstall - retry install 5.5.22 -> cannot get MySQL 5.5.xx to work anymore, not even the latest dev milestone (5.6.?.m8) I tried cleaning up files and registry, but there is a possibility i missed something relevant.

found a workaround, which is a bit painfull: - uninstall all mysql products - uninstall Microsoft Web Platform Installer (not really sure if this is related) - delete anything left on filesystem by this products - clear all windows temp directories - search registry for string 'mysql' and delete everything that seems to belong to mysql products - reboot - install mysql server and select 'Typical' - install .net connector - install workbench service seems to work fine now and is accessible through workbench

I can't repeat with 5.5.27. Please try it. Thanks.

Mysql installer product does NOT work at all after first use. First install is ok, but every reuse breaks everything so badly it cannot be fixed other than cleaning up registry of all mysql stuff. This bug report is only one of detected issues. And no, it's not my registry that's mixed up. MySql stuff is the only widespread tech on my dev machine that causes trouble almost all the time. 10% of all work hours spent on my last project were used on workbench crashes and server installer leech coctail. Since no one seems to be testing windows setups by reinstalling, updating and cleaning up mysql products on windows 7, I give up on this topic and will use the only workaround possible: make sure i do not use installer.

It's very important to also remove C:\ProgramData\MySQL folder. I've experienced this problem several times, following uninstall instructions from all over the web without any luck, until now. This folder is typically hidden, so manually navigate to C:\ProgramData and delete the entire MySQL directory. Re-install and hope for the best.

None of the suggestions here worked for me (Windows 7 x64). I did get MySql installed and running as a service by downloading and installing a previous version (5.1.68). The previous version was also 32 bit as opposed to the current 64 bit.
