Fix confirmed. Now it installs on my system (as a fresh install. I did not try the upgrade wizard). And BTW: did I remember to congratulate the very nice rollback feature?
Two more questions comments:
1)
Your default install path is \program files [(x86)]. You copy the /datadir as a subfolder of /basedirr. This will cause problems on Vista+ with UAC enabled if the server is ever started from commandline as a non-service (also if the user doing so is an administrator user). Problem is that UAC will 'virtualize' every database file that is written to. Any change to database (DDL, DM, logs - whatever) will be lost next time the server starts as a service.
I realize that most Windows users will never start the server from commandline. But still in case \program files\.. is selected as /basedir, /datadir should be in \program data I think (MS recommendation for UAC compliance with non-user programs).
Refer:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'basedir'; -- C:\Program Files\MariaDB 5.2\
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'datadir'; -- C:\Program Files\MariaDB 5.2\data\
2) There is no my.ini generated with a fresh install as far as I can see - so the server probably runs (it does!) with very low default buffer settings etc. Also latin1 charset and MyISAM will be default. I think a my.ini with settings fit for a 1GB-2GB RAM machine should be generated - and with a few configuration options. And a my.ini will be required to solve 1) anyway.
But still it is a good installer (and there is a 64 bit one as well), so this is an important step in the right direction. So thanks for your effort!
