Hello Vladislav,
First of all, thanks for all the information on "MSI v.s. NSIS" issues.
On a bright side, this is a valid bug that was simple to fix forcing
Hello Kazuhisa, per-machine install, so installer does not need to guess. I
did that and refreshed the MSI on the download page.
I confirmed the fix with the same machine/user with which I had the original problem. Thanks.
However, I'm afraid I hit a new one. If I have MariaDB 5.1.53 installed (by the 5.1 installer) on the same machine, the new installer doesn't allow me to install 5.2.5 saying:
"Previous version of MariaDB was found, that used incompatible installer. Please remove "MariaDB 5.1.53" before you proceed with this installation."
Ok, valid bug. Thanks for reporting. There will *still* be this message if you're trying to install 5.2.5 msi with existing 5.2.(<5) NSIS . For me personally ,main reason NOT to offer 5.2.4=>5.2.5 autoupgrade is the fact that MariaDBs NSIS was not designed to run in silent mode, its popups "Directory not deleted" during upgrade would only alienate users .
I think this is not an intended behavior, because this kills the big benefit (of your new installer) of automatically upgrading older MariaDB instance.
The upgrade is not always automatic, sometimes it is semiautomatic (supported by the UI tool launched at the end of installation). Did you look in the WL on how upgrades are handled? Here is link just in case http://askmonty.org/worklog/Server-Sprint/?tid=55 . Feedback on it is welcome. I have fixed 5.2.5 over 5.1 NSIS installation ,the update is on usual place. http://cid-ff0c950417b4f8a4.office.live.com/browse.aspx/share Thanks for your efforts, Vladislav
@Vlad SHOW ENGINES ENGINE Support --------------------- .. PBXT NO I think that the .zip package had PBXT enabled as default. Can I enable it somehow with this build? PBXT is actually *THE REASON* why MariaDB is interesting for me. -- Peter On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 16:51, Vladislav Vaintroub <wlad@montyprogram.com>wrote:

Hi Peter, This Colibri unfortunately does not fly well on x64. I tried it (admittedly the debug version), installer crashed. I hesitate to enable it until https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+bug/688404 is fixed, or at least understood or handled somehow by PBXT developers. If you like to enable it, you can uncomment loose-skip-pbxt in my.ini. Thanks!
Thanks .. worked fine. No crash till now ... -- Peter On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 17:13, Vladislav Vaintroub <wlad@montyprogram.com>wrote:
