I installed MySQL to the c:\mysql and included the c:\mysql\bin directory. Something went wrong with the password at one point as I was getting started. I deleted the mysql directory and tried to reinstall, but it would not. Then I used windows to go back to a date prior to when I deleted the directory. Since that time, I don't know what exactly happened because I focused on get phpmyadmin going to run mysql from a web site. However, I would like to have mysql on my local system so I can play with it. My current problem is:
A new download of mysql will not install; it delivers a message that says the directory (c:\workdirectory\....mysql_dwnloads\...(i am keeping it short here) from where the install program is and then it says "perameter is incorrect"
so basically, it will not install.
When I try to install from the setup.exe file that is in the c:\mysql directory, it runs through a brief install shield and then stops and now my bin directory is gone.
How can I clean up this mess and start over from the beginning or how can I get a grip on this situation.
Thank you, any help is very much appreciated.
