Re: can not create windows service for MySQL Error:0
I have had this problem before. After a bit of research it was because I was trying to install mysql over an existing version. Try the following:
1. Stop the mysql service through control panel
2. Load a command window
3. Run the command "sc --delete MySQL"
This will remove the service definition from the registry, and fixed it for me.
I believe 'sc' stands for service controller, and is shipped with versions of Windows 2000+. If you don't have it, I have also heard that selecting a different name for the service (e.g. mysql41) in the previous screen also works.
Hope this sorts you out!
