Hi Peter,

 

@wlad 

 

I came across an issue with the .msi from Oracle. 

refer: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=60830

 

In short: if somebody installs a 'n-bit' version and on top of this a 'm-bit' version various inconsistencies happen inside Windows system menus.  I concluded that 

 

1) either: a n-bit of a x.y version should refuse to install if a m-bit of same x.y
version is installed
2) or: n-bit and m-bit should should identify themselves so that Windows can handle them
in parallel. (not only 'MySQL Server 5.5" but "MySQL Server 5.5 - 64 bit" etc.)

 

Is this something you have been considering?

 

We are be doing 2) – installing 32 and 64 bit side-by-side, 64 bit package  identifies itself with “x64” suffix 

 

-- Peter

It seems that  <http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/> http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/ still has the old NSIS-based installer for 5.1.55? – Peter

Yes, 5.1 will have the old installer until the end of 5.1’s life.  Also, in 5.2/5.3 the new installer is not pushed yet, because it is not yet reviewed.
