Same problem and my solution without system reboot
Problem:
Fail to create a new MySQL 5.1 instance in Windows XP Home Edition SP3 which already has a MySQL 5.0 instance.
Solution:
1. Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs, remove failed MySQL installation. (Not work if remove by MySQL installer!!)
2. Do not remove the folder and files remained after removing the failed MySQL installation.
3. Re-install failed MySQL and create a new MySQL instance by MySQL installer.
4. Done:)
