Description:
I am unable to get the latest Connector/ODBC installed. Near the end of the installation the installer gives the following error:
-> A network error occurred while attempting to read from file
-> C:\Downloads\software\MyODBC-3.51.11-2-win.msi
At first I thought I had a corrupted download, but after several downloads from different mirrors all resulting in the same error the conclusion is that it was a problem in the build, or upload to the mirrors, therefore the reason for this bug report.

How to repeat:
Download the .msi installer and try to install, picking one of the US mirrors for the download.

I just verified the md5 checksum so the problem is definitely in the build

Kerry, glad your problem is solved.

Thanks for your interest in MySQL.

So, what resolved the problem? I still have it, the md5 signature matches, the download(s from multiple mirrors) all fail with the reported error

Kerry, sorry I misread your post... Did you try with 5.1.2? As for me I can't repeat this problem even though I installed it on many systems.

Hi Kerry. I checked msi-s for both 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 and found what appears the cause of problem... Property.QualifiedProductName == MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.11 thus, probably, install/uninstall is trying to use old info in registry, and failing. There might be some other hard-coded stuff there too.

I have informed Kent and Georg of this problem.

Kent committed the fix, so I assume that means he thought it was okay.

A note has been added to the 5.1.3 changelog: 

Installation of Connector/ODBC would fail because it was unable to uninstall a previous installed version. The file being requested would match an older release version than any installed version of the connector.
