You may be able to fix this problem by checking to see if you have the following file in this directory:

\mysql\share\english\errmsg.sys

If it is missing you will need to download it or copy it from your older installation to this directory. I installed XAMPP and got the same error, then when trying to start mysql from the command line I got the error
'Can't find message file \mysql\share\english\errmsg.sys'

When you start mysql, the my.cnf file located at \mysql\bin\my.cnf tries to find the errmsg.sys file. If it does not find this file it gives the 10061 error message.

I copied this file from my older install and mysql got started right away!
