Description:
When opening MySQL installer and updating product catalog a messagepops up telling that an upgrde for MySQL Installer is available. I starts downloading, seems (from the progress bar) to almost(?) complete the download. But then a message pops up that it failed to download.

How to repeat:
I will upload an image.

Suggested fix:
No clue where and what the problem is. There is actually very little with the MySQL Installer that is not a problem! SIGH!

Fixed as of the MySQL Installer 1.4.8 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The Installer would sometimes fail to upgrade itself.

Thank you for the bug report, and sorry that the Installer sometimes fails for you.
