Doing the same thing (un- and re-installing) over and over usually gets the same result over and over.

Instead, read the MySQL error log, correct the problems it identifies, then test the MySQL server running standalone, eg by running in a commandline window ...

mysqld --defaults-file="<MYSQL_HOME>\my.ini" --console –-skip-grant-tables

where <MYSQL_HOME> is the MySQL installation folder.

When that runs without error, then restart the service.
