Multiple MySQL version on XAMPP

[bchodo]

I have an existing V4 mySQL on my dev pc that I use for other projects. I wanted to play with Drupal so I downloaded XAMPPLite and installed it. However, I cannot seem to get MySQL5 to run. I changed the port (3307), and changed the server file name to mysql5, but XAMPP keeps finding my existing V4. How do I tell XAMPP which mysql to start and monitor?
