Information persisted after a desinstallation of EasyPHP 5.3.3

I am running on Windows 7, 32 bit.

After installing EasyPHP 5.3.3, I have changed the MySQL password of root. Then I got the following message when trying to run PHPMyAdmin again (already mentioned in another post):

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

To work around that, I uninstalled EasyPHP using the uninstall program. I checked that all folders had been erased. Then I installed EasyPHP again.

What is strange first, is that an alias that I previously created is still defined.

Then, although the MySQL root password seemt to have been cleared (see the MySQL parameters below) I still have the above message when trying to manage MySQL.

MySQL parameters (default MySQL account)
- Host : 'localhost'
- Username : 'root'
- Password : '' (no password)
- Path to the database root (datadir) : C:\PROGRA~1\EASYPH~1.3\mysql\data\

Obviously, there is some information kept between the two installations, but I cannot figure out where it is. This could explain why I still get the error message although the MySQL access situation should have been cleared with the new install.

I would appreciate if someone could at least tell me where data is persisted after an uninstall.

Thanks.

After uninstall, can you try to remove all files from C:\Program Files\EasyPHPXX manually ?

After uninstall, the folder EasyPHP in Program Files does no longer exist, which is what you would expect.

But since some information persisted (like an Apache alias), I suspect that there is another location where information is stored.

Maybe into Vista/7 virtuals folders ?

Can you seek into : C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files ?

Hi Amour, you're right, there are some files left C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (I hate Win 7 virtual folder feature!), but even I deleted them, the information still exists somewhere, I still get the message after install the package to D:\
