Hi Tahira, it seems like one of your SQL instance is still running, the person in this video stops the instance so try following them, if you have windows 10 or 11 just try searching the folders they are getting from the start menu, (hope this finally fixes it haha) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtSUWY1batQ

Hi Tahira and Harshit!

Please accept my apologies for the delayed response.
Thanks for reaching out.

The issue is local and most probably arises since you have made several attempts to install Workbench, Tahira. In fact, we can only have one installation of the server on our operating system.
If, for some reason, it doesn't work, one needs to completely uninstall Workbench and the MySQL Server from their computer, reboot and only then can they retry installing the software anew.
Please visit the following thread for an information on how to re-install Workbench properly:

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Martin
