Description:
In the windows installer is an option to install debug symbols, but no *.pdb files are installed.  This makes any debugging and crash reporting difficult.

How to repeat:
mysql-cluster-gpl-7.3.1-winx64.msi /liwearucmop install.log

Suggested fix:
include the *.pdb files or remove the option in the installer to install them.

A workaround is to simply pull the files out of the ./bin directory of the other package: mysql-cluster-gpl-7.3.1-winx64.zip
o) mysqld.exe
o) mysqld.pdb
o) mysqld-debug.exe
o) mysqld-debug.pdb

Documented fix as follows int he NDB 7.2.14 and 7.3.2 changelogs:

        The MySQL Cluster installer for Windows provided a nonfunctional
        option to install debug symbols (contained in *.pdb files). This
        option has been removed from the installer.

          NOTE: You can obtain the *.pdb files for a given MySQL Cluster
          release from the Windows .zip archive for the same release,
          such as mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.14-win32.zip or
          mysql-cluster-gpl-7.3.2-winx64.zip.

Closed.
