Description:
If you have a source install. (i.e. the files are built but reside in a RelWithDebInfo directory) the script fails to find what it needs. 

 --src= switch is supposed to be used in these situations, but it does not account for RelWithDebInfo for all files that it is trying to find.

How to repeat:
Pull a src build for Windows from the PB teams server.

Unzip the src install.

Attempt to run mysql-install-db.pl

It will fail.

Suggested fix:
Account for all possible file locations in Windows src install
