Re: accidently installed another version of mysql over existing server

What was the old version of MySQL? What is the new version?

Installing the new version of MySQL possibly un-installed the old version, but should have left your old database(s) intact.
The new version possibly didn't touch your my.ini file the old version was using. my.ini contains, among other things, the path to where mysql stores it's database files.

The default location of my.ini has changed a bit between versions, depending on the version of Windows you use too.

So, to help further, I'll need to know the old and new mysql version, and what version of Windows you have, and whether you moved the database files from their default location.

Good luck,
Barry.
