Description:
mysql_upgrade cannot find D:\mysql\bin\mysqlcheck - even though mysqlcheck.exe perfectly exists on the specified location. Most likely reason seems to be that the extension is not specified.

How to repeat:
D:\mysql\bin>mysql_upgrade -u root -p --basedir=D:\mysql
Enter password: 
Can't find program 'D:\mysql\bin\mysqlcheck'
Please restart with --basedir=mysql-install-directory

D:\mysql\bin>dir

I have another variation here:

C:\Programmer\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin>mysql_upgrade -u root -p******* --base
dir=D:\mysqldb50
mysql_upgrade: unknown variable 'default-character-set=latin1'

I have the line "default-character-set=latin1" in both the [server] and the [client] section of my.ini

But thanks for pointing out to me where the EXECUTABLE was.  That clarifies something to me,  I actually allready posted this: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=20921

Now wasn't it a reasonable idea NOT TO PACKAGE the *nix shell script with Windows versions?

My opinion:  the documentation on MySQL for Windows :-( :-( :-(

Thank you for the bug report. I changed the below line in the source file:

if (!test_file_exists_res
      (bindir, "mysqlcheck.exe", mysqlcheck_line, &mysqlcheck_end))
  {

from "mysqlcheck" to "mysqlcheck.exe" and:

C:\tmp>mysql_upgrade --basedir=c:/mysql
mysql.columns_priv                                 OK

Could not find MySQL command-line client (mysql).
Please use --basedir to specify the directory where MySQL is installed.

However there are another places for to fix also.

Despite mysql_upgrade being available from 5.0.23 on "all operating systems", the scope of this bug is quite wide and the manual page should be adjusted.

My rationale is that the only operating system not previously supported was Windows, and this bug essentially stops the Windows version from working.

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-upgrade.html

s/As of MySQL 5.0.23, mysql_upgrade is an executable binary and is available on all systems./As of MySQL 5.0.25, mysql_upgrade is available on all supported platforms./

I've changed the version from 5.0.23 to 5.0.25.
