Database: MySql: v4.1: Install: Error: 'Cannot create Windows service 
for MySQL. Error: 0'

---

This must be a bug in the uninstall of your older MySql program

---
---

Steps: Overview:

 1. To possibly solve it, go back a few steps in the
    configuration wizard

     (or run the wizard again by using the program

    MySQLInstanceConfig.exe

     in your MySql bin directory)


 2. Clicking the 'Next' button, until you see
    'Install As Windows Service'

 3. Change the name of the service to another than the current name

    e.g. change the name

          MySql

         (as this service exists already probably in your Windows
          services, and is still of an old version of MySql on your
          computer, you can see this by looking in the
          'Windows services'
          and right clicking on the service name, you see then that
          it belongs e.g. to MySql v3)

         to another name, like

          MySqlv41

 4. Finish the configuration

Tested successfully on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, running MySql
server v4.1.
