hello everybody.
upon trying to reinstall mysql i had a problem. i googled the problem and i was led to believe that deleting all mysql entries from the registry was the thing to do. i did this and now i get an error when trying to run the installer and i think i may have deleted some entry that handles the mysql installer or something. i dont know. the message is

'the configuration data for this product is corrupt. contact your support personnel'

obviously you guys are my support personnel so im contacting you. i have tried to re-download the installer but i get the same message. thats why i believe it to be a windows problem rather than a mysql issue.

any ideas?
