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. The desktop icon had gone and there was no entry in "Programs and Features". The only warning I had was that a command window suddenly popped up, I briefly saw the word SQL and then the window vanished. I then noted the program was missing. This happened a few weeks after upgrading my laptop to Windows 10 but I can't see this being the issue as I haven't run Wampserver for about 2 months.
I have now installed the latest version of Wampserver and I need to transfer my databases over the new mysql setup. They are currently stored in folders in C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\data. I have tried just copying the folders to the new directory but they are not being properly recognised in phpmyadmin. Unfortunately, I can't just import the databases in as I didn't export them to .sql format before this issue happened.
Is there a way of getting them into mysql? There is one folder for each database and each folder contains a file called .frm and called .ibd for each table if that helps..
