Hi,
Sorry, but I did not think that because MySQL was not started, you could not change the version.
We will try a "trick" without being sure that it works ; I try it, it works with my system.
- Exit Wampserver
- Open à command windows as an administrator (Must be Administrator in the title of the windows)
in this command windows type:
sc delete wampmysqld
May be an error message like: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
It does not matter
- Edit with a correct text editor like
Notepad++ the file wamp/wampmanager.conf
- Replace
mysqlVersion = "5.7.14"
by
mysqlVersion = "5.6.33"
Be sure that the folder wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.33\ existsSave the modified file
- Launch Wampserver even if not green
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Install service
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Start/Resume service
