Or, you could just use the updated phpmyadmin module which auto-updates phpmyadmin (checks daily for updates):
I have been using this module on Windows for 3 years now without issues.
I have also altered the original code to remove the settings folder.
Code:
zppy remove phpmyadmin (make a buck up first!)
zppy repo add zppy-repo.mach-hosting.com
zppy update
zppy install phpmyadmin
