I uninstalled MySQL 5.1 from Vista as I lost the username/password, however I forgot to stop the MySQL service before doing so. Now whenever I try to reinstall it I get to the final configuration screen which then fails with the message "Cannot create Windows Service for MySQL Error:0".

I've uninstalled MySQL and removed all related files/folders/registry entries but still no joy...

Does anyone know a way to resolve this as I can't seem to find a fix online anywhere!
