1. Copy all content of old mysql folder to new mysql folder.
2. In new mysql folder, open file my.ini and replace all old folder to new folder (except log-error variable)
3. To change executable path of wampmysqld service, run regedit in START >> RUN, then go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Services >> wampmysqld >> ImagePath
Change it to new folder.

Thank you very much for your help Hung Le. Really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMy old wamp server is inside "C:\wamp" and recently I installed the latest one to "C\wamp2". And after that, I was looking here and there for my old data base. I was nearly shocked to notice that even old Wamp instance now loads the new database. So when I was searching the internet, luckily saw this post. What I did was changed the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Services >> wampmysqld >> ImagePath" to the old "mysql.exe" file.
Now my wamp server is latest, and still uses my old databases :)
Cool.
Thanks!
