winmysqladmin.exe access violation

[nvision]

Hi,

After installing the latest XAMPP for Windows
xampp-win32-1.6.7-installer.exe

When I restart my laptop I get winmysqladmin.exe access error. I have to force quit that process.

When I go into the XAMPP control panel mySql is running and I am able to use PHPmyAdmin. MySQL works but if I click on the admin panel in XAMPP then the winmysqladmin error returns.

I have tried to unintstall and reinstall but no luck.

Previously, I had xampp-win32-1.6.5 installed and had this same issue. I never resolved the problem I would just force quit the winmysqladmin.exe process.

One more thing - some time ago I had installed Apache2triad but that was removed - could this be the problem?

Can you please advise?

When trying to use the Winmysqladmin, I would get an access violation error message and I would have to shut down the process manually from the Task Manager. What I did to fix it was rename the my.ini file in the Windows directory and then started Winmysqladmin from the Xampp control panel. I was asked to provide a username and password and a new my.ini file was created and no more popup error messages.

Thats exactly what is happening too me.

Which ini file are you referring too?

I have exactly the same problem here. I have XAMPP on an XP machine but I just can't get up and running on my new Vista laptop. The only thing I have done to try and fix it is to uninstall and reinstall. That's the limit of my technical expertise.

I am hopeful for an easy fix...

Thanks

Martin

I found many fixes, depending on various situations the error occurred, using these search criteria:

Keyword: violation
or

BTW, winmysqldmin is deprecated and really should not be used, some of the above search results may explain this with possible alternative solutions.

I've upgraded to the latest XAMPP, Isn't winmysqladmin part of that installation?
