Verified that the .msi files for 5.1.31 were digitally signed, and that we are not producing setup.exe files for 5.1.31. The one note I do have is that the email section of the digital signature is blank. Do we want to supply a contact? Just bringing this up in the event this was an unintentional omission.

A note has been added to the 5.1.31 changelog: The MSI installer packages for Windows are now digitally signed with a certificate, allowing installation on Windows where only certified packages are allowed by group policy or configuration. As part of this change, and to comply with the certified installer requirements, the <command>Setup.exe</command> versions of the MySQL installer have been discontinued. You must have Windows Installer support in your Windows installation to use the MSI install package. This is a standard component on Windows XP SP2 and higher. For earlier versions, you can download the Microsoft Installer support from Microsoft.com.
