I am having a problem in downgrading the MySQL version in WAMP. Currently I am using 5.6.12 and I need to downgrade it it 5.5. But before I can download the old version. By choosing 'get more...' option and it leads me to the MySQL add-on. But the website looks different. It only shows the WampServer installation. I can't find the MySQL add-ons.

If you install the multi-MySQL versions in WampServer, the easy way to find where is the database you want is to look at the “wamp64/bin/mysql/ mysql5.7.28 /data”. In the data folder, you will find the database folder there. Here is a sample of WAMPserver after installing PHP and MySQL versions.
From wamp manager -> MySQL -> Version click on your new version. Normally you would have to uninstall the old wampmysql service and re-install the new wampmysql service, but wamp takes care of all that for you by just clicking the new version number.
Here is a sample of WAMPserver after installing PHP and MySQL versions. Simply choose the PHP version or MySQL version you like then WAMPserver will restart automatically. In the installing process, it will prompt the wamp server location as “c:\wamp”. You must check your Wampserver location before clicking the next button.
1 - download the version of mysql that you want to install. 4 - Left click the Wamp icon in your taskbar then Mysql > Version > 'select your version' Example mysql folder name : "mysql5.6.17" Note: If you copy the version from an existing server with database on it, the database would be copied as well.
It is now possible to install the multi MySql versions with executables provided by the wamp team.
Here's what you want to do:
First, make sure you have Wampserver 3.0.9 (or newer) installed on your machine. As of the time I'm writing this, it is not possible to download this version directly from the wampserver official homepage. You have to download and install 3.0.6 from wampserver.com and then update to 3.0.9. You can find the update installer here .
Then you can install Wampserver addons from source forge. In your case, you just have to pick the version of MySql that you want and to install it.
Finally, restart wamp and then you will be allowed to pick the version of MySql that you want from the wamp option box pinned on the bottom right of your windows task bar.
Hope it helps someone !

Yes, you can do it.
1 - download the version of mysql that you want to install.
2 - Copy / Paste it in your folder C:\wamp\bin\mysql
3 - Close and run Wamp server again
4 - Left click the Wamp icon in your taskbar then Mysql > Version > 'select your version'
Example mysql folder name : "mysql5.6.17"
Note: If you copy the version from an existing server with database on it, the database would be copied as well.

maybe you should ask this in superuser.com, but you may check this one at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/WampServer%202/WampServer%202.2/
I think now they are providing an already-packaged mysql in a single wamp-installer..
So, just try to download the older version..
WampServer version 2.2 has MySQL 5.5.24..
hope this helps..
