Description:
When at the Feature selection screen you check an identic server version to be installed for both architectures (x32 and x64) 

Server configuration for the first listed would fail because the Data directory is overwritten.

How to repeat:
When at the Feature selection screen check server 5.5 box to be installed. 
Change the architecture combo (if 64 is selected, change it to 32 bit or viceversa). Notice the checks for server 5.5 are cleaned, please check them again.

Click next 

At the Install Screen you'll see 2 server products from the same version (5.5) to be installed (one for 32 and other for 64 bit configurations).

Once installed, proceed to Server Configuration screen and whatch it fail for the first server listed as its data dir had been overwritten by the second.

Suggested fix:
Check only one architecture is selected for a server install.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Installer for Windows version 1.3.0, and here's the changelog entry:

It was possible to select both architectures (32-bit and 64-bit) for a
single MySQL Server version, which resulted in an error during the
installation process. Now only one architecture can be selected per MySQL
Server version.

Thank you for the bug report.
