Description:
Installer does not recognize an installation of Utilities 1.5.2 x64;
i.e. it is not present among the listed products.
Neither is catalog updated, the latest version is displayed as 1.4.4 x86.

How to repeat:
Install/upgrade to Utilities 1.5.2 x64 from msi.
Start Installer.

As far as I rememebr, the Installer actually did handle MySQL Utilities on my environment (it installed version 1.4.4 according to the display in Control Panel .. Programs), but not the Notifier.

OK .. this page http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ lists the current version as 1.52.

My instance of the MySQL Installer (installed with mysql-installer-community-5.7.5.0-m15.msi) also does not detect versions more recent than 1.44.

Thank you for the bug report.

It is there now (for me at lest)

... but it failed to install :-(

The catalog is updated now, but the Utilities are not recognized still;
regedit finds no keys for Utilities in HKLM\Software,
is this an installation/upgrade issue (I upgraded from 1.4.4 x86 to 1.5.2 x64)?
There is another inconsistency, MySQL Server x64 created keys in
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node (albeit Installer handles it).

Trying to install from catalog

When I try to install Utilities from catalog,
Installer recognizes that Utilities are installed
and tells me I'm choosing the commercial version...
but I run Installer - Community. Still problems with catalog update?

Oops, it's actually the other way around...

Well, I guess the problem is getting clearer: x64 version is commercial,
community gets only x86...

No matter what it should still upgrade sucessfully. I wonder if it is "fabric" that will not isntall on Windows?

I can install both x86 and x64 cleanly;
x86 through the Installer, and x64 from msi downloaded from Community site.
So I believe that the catalog is still incorrect.

As to your problem, look at the installation details in the Installer;
perhaps that would provide some clues.

yes ..

C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 was missing.

Good catch. So, to sum it up:

Workbench 6.2.x and Utilities 1.5.x went 64-bit with C++ 2013 runtime.
Whereas Workbench got updated in catalog and its msi checks for dependencies,
Utilities are still not updated (for 64-bit version) in catalog
and msi lacks dependency checks.

I mentioned registry keys above;
all MySQL components create keys in both HKLM and HKCU,
except Utilities which store keys in HKCU only.
How can Utilities/Fabric be user specific?

Would somebody please add an entry for "MySQL Fabric & Utilities" X64 architecture to catalog?

Would somebody please add an entry for "MySQL Fabric & Utilities" X64 architecture to catalog? 1.5.3 was added as X86 only.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Installer 1.4.4 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The MySQL Installer manifest was missing 64-bit builds of the MySQL Utilities. 
Therefore, they were neither recognized nor installed. 

Thank you for the bug report.
