Description:
The Mysql server I installed is not installed properly and I want to uninstall it. However, I am not able to uninstall it and need assistance in it.
While installing this package, I got a message that I will not be able to uninstall it. After installation, many of its executables gave errors. I am not able to see it in my add/remove programs and there is no uninstall script.

How to repeat:
This bug can be repeated by reinstalling it on my computer in another directory.

Suggested fix:
I tried to install mysql-4.1.8-essential-win version and it also did not install properly.

The 4.0.XX installer needs a file called Uninst.isu which is saved in the
root install directory for to perform an uninstall process via Control
Panel Add/Remove program.
You can try to use the 4.0.23 installer  and to re-install in the same place
and same options and to un-install via Control Panel, but this not works
all the time.
Another way is to remove the whole install keys from the registry,
but I can't to recommend this because is dangerous and you can
damage the whole Windows installation.
