OK,
I asked @Otomatic to test this, he uses 64bit wamp and this is his reply.
================From Otomatic ==============================
It works for me.
Wampserver 64 bit installed into J:\wamp64 with two versions of MySQL :
J:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\my.ini
J:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.19\my.ini
I switch to MySQL 5.6.17 and quit Wampserver.
I copy all files from:
J:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data\
to
G:\wwwbasesoto\
(Thats the whole data folder including all these files)
g:\wwwbasesoto\mysql\
g:\wwwbasesoto\performance_schema\
g:\wwwbasesoto\test\
g:\wwwbasesoto\auto.cnf
g:\wwwbasesoto\ib_logfile0
g:\wwwbasesoto\ib_logfile1
g:\wwwbasesoto\ibdata1
I rename data folder of mysql 5.6.17 :
j:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data_old\
I modify J:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\my.ini
#datadir= J:/wamp64/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.17/data
datadir=G:/wwwbasesoto
I launch Wampmanager 64 and MySQL works fine.
Do not copy or move only the folders (databases) mysql and performance_schema, you must also copy or move files auto.cnf, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1.
All folder and files from J:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data\ must be copied.
=================================================================
I hope this identifies what you are doing wrong.
Regards
