For real, what an asshole. Sorry that just because of your limited understanding of MySQL and phpMyAdmin, he didn't create a Server that only fools know how to use... Like what yfastud said, maybe you should gain a little bit of knowledge of the subject before you jump into something and act like you can do it without any knowledge whatsoever on the subject. First you need to use that brain that is between your ears, on some books or websites. Not everyone is going to hold your hand through life, no matter how much you kick and scream.
Start studying here, since you probably need help looking information up too, because there is no script to help you... Ill give you a couple of resources.

www.phpmyadmin.net]

And for you to say that you have hosted numerous sites without his tools, you obviously never used MySQL, phpMyAdmin, before. So what did you use? some free webtemplate editor on a free website building site like freewebs? Haha. So you either lied about that, or you used something for kids that make blogs.
What makes this tool any different than installing a LAMP server? or BAMP? or any of the other variations? If you have used any of these tools before than you should know how to fix your problem, and how to use the tools given to you. (FOR FREE REMIND YOU!!! FREE, SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BITCHING LIKE 9 YEAR OLD GIRL FOR?!)
Like Steven said,
"there is no problem..
its people's understanding of the tools they are using that is the issue "
Gain some knowlege of the subject then come back and whine. Dont whine because its an advance piece of software that is capable of almost anything, and 80 percent of servers use this exact set up (excluding windows), there is a reason why it is so widespread.
If its an issue with stuff still being left in the registry then get a damn third party uninstaller that also cleans the registry like "IO Bit Uninstaller", instead of crying to him about one issue you are having, then when he responds with a great solution, you change the issue and tell him his help is "worthless" basically...
This is no different than all the people that join Linux forums and ask why they don't have permission on a file, or how to become root. Then they complain because Linux is too hard for them, and say its linux's fault. Like your saying that its a problem with the WAMP software, sorry, but it isn't, its GREAT! your the problem!
On that note, thank you so much for gathering all this great GNU GPL applications and making it run FLAWLESS on windows!!! I love you guys for this I have great respect for the creators! I am more of a Linux guy myself, and only use Windows for my Adobe software, but this is great for testing my server instead of making everything in adobe then restarting and booting into Linux every time I want to test what I made. (GIMP just doesn't do it for me, I cant find an equivalent to "save as web ready" and get that crisp look like I do in photoshop.
I am a new user to Windows Server, but I (unlike the OP, who states he has experience...) actually have experience with MySQL and phpMyAdmin, and just because when you install MySQL it doesn't walk you through it like in the terminal in Linux, it doesn't change the fact that it has ALL the SAME configurable options. All it took was my eye balls to look. Simple as that OP. Use the Brain and the Eyes that were given to you.
I also dont know why the other two responders were so nice to you, your a dick sir, so chill out, relax, watch your attitude, and be grateful that you even got this software for free!
go back to freewebs and come back when your done studying the documentation from the links above.
