Deleting a service?

[spufi]

This is partial copy of a post I did on another forum. The other part is in regards to stuff I fixed.

"I'm going along in the book and type in, "myslqd-nt --install" at the DOS prompt and it says the service already exists. The current server installed...and it points to my old FoxServ install I use to have, but deleted off of my computer. I don't even have the FoxPro directory that contains the .exe that it says the service is tied to. I still go and type in "mysql -u root mysql" and I get an error message saying it can't connect to the MySQL server on 'localhost.' I have a feeling it's looking for the FoxServ one, which as previously pointed out, doesn't exist."

So hopefully that makes sense, but for some reason when I'm trying to get MySQL working on my laptop, it's pointing to the service created when I had FoxServ installed. I have already deleted FoxServ, but the tie to service is still there.

You can try uninstalling it with regsvr32 otherwise I'd go right to the registry.

I think the problem I ran into a while back is similar. Maybe this post (http://www.dbforums.com/t993099.html) might help out?

Haha. So you did the same thing with FoxServ too. Anyway, thanks for that. I probably would have guessed a couple different command words instead of remove, but it's nice to see the solution was so straight forward. I guess this means I have to actually start doing stuff now. :p

Heh, I did... I think; I can't even remember now. :D
Anyhoo, you're welcome. ;)
