WampServer

Also, I may have found the culprit to the original corrupted installation of wampserver that appeared like it had been uninstalled (though it left the old data behind). I just had a command window pop up again and I realised that it belonged to the "MySQL Installer" program that I use for installing MySQL Connectors and MySQL for Visual Studio etc. No idea why it caused the issue bu

Thanks for the above instructions, this was not successful but I have managed to restore my tables with the following instructions: FIRST: 1. Make sure file per table option enabled. 2. Install MySql Utilities Console 3. Open a Command Prompt 4. Point to your old database directory. Ex: cd C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysqlxxx\data\name_of_database 5. Type command: mysqlfrm --server=root:@localhos

I have done some reading on MyISAM and INNODB and according to the MySQL documentation, the file per table option is enabled by default in version 5.6 and higher. So it looks like that option would be set even though I had not explicitly enabled it myself in the my.ini file. So maybe recovery is possible after all? I do have the .ibd files as well as the .frm files. I have done some researc

To answer the more helpful response from Otomatic: The original Wamp version was version 2.5 64bit and the newly installed version was 3.04 64bit. As I had to re-install anyway, I thought it would make sense to install the latest version but perhaps this was not the best plan? As I will not be able to import an SQL file, is there a way round this perhaps using another tool that can create a

I certainly didn't uninstall it. I was in the middle of typing a letter when a command box popped up and then disappeared leaving wampserver missing. I think that after using computers since 1982, I would know if I had uninstalled an application intentionally! Doh...

Something very strange happened to my Wampserver install and it seemed to have uninstalled itself leaving my database folders intact in C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data but nothing much else.
