This is a problem of WAMPServers MYSQL finding old my.ini files left on the system by other attempts to install MYSQL manually.

If you try to install MYSQL manually specifically if you use the .msi install or the MYSQL Workbench install that comes with a copy of MYSQL Server, it puts the my.ini into \windows\system32. This is one of the folders that MYSQL searches for its my.ini file, prior to searching its own bin folder.

WAMPServer is very tidy and does not place any of its files outside the \wamp\ folder structure, this is so you can switch versions of MYSQL, which is one of its big benefits, so it i safe to delete these other .my.ini files.
