You should probably reduce your MySQL installs down to a single install. By far the easiest way would be to uninstall everything and then decide which installer you want to use bitnami or XAMP, you can run multiple mysql installs but this requires that you install the 2nd one manually and manually configure it. Which is a lot more than just putting it in a different location on the harddrive. It needs its own service and to be running on a different port. Then the client for the second one needs to configured for the alternate port as well, but unless you have a really good reason to do this, stick with a single MySQL instance and use multlipe databases.
At this point, to uninstall everything cleanly you will most likely need to perform some of the uninstall manually. Do you have data you need to save, if so you will need have MySQL working well enough to dump the data. You can backup your databases with a tool provided by MySQL mysqldump. (mysqldump -u username -p dbname > dbname_backup.sql) You are in good shape if you don't have anything you need to save, just skip this and uninstall. Uninstall all the mysqls. 1) Use control panel add/remove programs to get the first one (since it was installed using an installer). If there is an option to uninstall the second one using the control panel use that as well, but you will still need to perform some manual uninstall steps. 2) Check to see if any MySQL services are still running, (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services) If you find any running stop them. Note some installers rename the services so read through every service that is there to make sure you find them all. 3) Delete any mysql folders you can find, be sure to get any my.ini or mysql.ini files that are out there, they may be in the WINDOWS folder or some special place that the installers may have put them. Windows Search can help you find them. 4) Restart your computer, go back into services to verify that the MySQL services are no longer there. Now you can resinstall MySQL using one (but only one) of the installers bitnami or XAMP. After that whatever else you need should be installed piece by piece if the installer is going to install something you already have installed. Just this morning I fixed a problem in a similar fashion but with multiple PHP installs, same thing just different program. Hope this helps.
