Description:
The mysql-installer-community-5.6.30.0.msi offline Windows installer isn't available for download on the https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ page. The latest version available for download is the 5.6.28 (mysql-installer-community-5.6.28.0.msi) version.

Only the 5.6.30 zip archives(mysql-5.6.30-winxxx.zip) are available.

How to repeat:
Go to "Download MySQL Installer" page "https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.7.html" ,click on "Looking for previous GA versions?" towards bottom right. Then you can see that the latest version of the Installer is "mysql-installer-community-5.6.28.0.msi". And "mysql-installer-community-5.6.30.0.msi" is not available from the drop-down list.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the report and feedback!
Observed that "MySQL Installer 5.6.28" installer is available.

Thanks,
Umesh

Note that if you go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/, selecting 5.6 and Windows shows listings for the 5.6.30 zipfiles only, plus a banner which points to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.6.html--and on this latter page, only the 5.6.28 MSIs are listed, and only 5.549 and 5.6.28 are listed in the versions dropdown.

Please note that also the mysql-installer as standalone download in version 5.6.30 lists the mysql database versions x86 and 64 for 5.6.30 correctly in the update catalogue, but does not offer it as an update. It simply reports 'the newly downloaded product catalog was not applied because it does not contain any updates for the current product catalog'.

The 5.6.30 Windows Installer is still not posted. Is there an ETA for this issue?

Am also waiting for this in order to update Oracle versions with security fixes.  Been open a while guys, do we just give up and hope the next version comes out posted correctly?

I can see in https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.7.html that when looking for previous GA releases only the very last version for the 5.5 and 5.6 series are available.
Should more GA versions be available besides the very last one in that section?
