Remnants of a previous MySQL install are still on your system.

- Backup your database
- Uninstall MySQL from Add/Remove programs
- Delete the MySQL directory on c: (or where you installed it)
- Delete the MySQL directory in 'Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data (note: you have to show hidden files or folders to see the directory)
- Run REGEDIT and delete the MySQL key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
- Reboot your system
- Install proper version of MySQL
- Restore database
