Description:
MySQL for Windows: Installer fails to reconfigure 5.7.28 during backup of database.

Server: Server 2008 R2
MySQL Service running as a local user account.
Root password set.

Installer Log file:
Starting process with command: <Path to MySQL>MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqldump.exe --user=root --host=localhost --port=3307 --default-character-set=utf8 --routines --events --single-transaction=TRUE --all-databases --result-file="<Path to Backup folder>\MySQL Server 5.7\Backup\mysql_dump-2019-10-16T15.06.26.sql"...
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect

How to repeat:
Launch Installer
Select MySQL Server version and click Reconfigure
Run through the setup entering Root Password/Service Account Password
Click Execute
Fails during backup

After reviewing the image attached to the original MySQL Bug I was able to identify that an upgrade is indeed being attempted, however I'm still unable to reproduce the issue.
I've tested configuring MySQL Server as a service and as process, in both scenarios the upgrade completes successfully.

Miguel,
can you provide the full list of steps to reproduce the failing connection attempt shown in your image? I can see that when the server is not running, MySQL Installer runs a mysqld process to perform the connection attempt and is successful on my side, so something must be preventing MySQL from running on your side.

Christopher

Please provide as much info as possible for the following questions:

What version were you upgrading from?
What were the configuration settings used when setting up the old MySQL 5.7
installation and what were the new configurations used for 5.7.28?
Can you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce the issue? 

Thanks.

Hi JOSE,

Upgrading Version 5.7.27 to 5.7.28, I can also reproduce the issue by doing the following:
Launch MySQL Installer with 5.7.28 and click on Reconfigure
Under High Availability select Standalone MySQL Server
Type and Networking change Config Type to Server Computer, check TCP/IP with port of 3307, check Open Windows Firewall..., check Show Advanced and Logging Options
Account and Roles, Enter MySQL Root Password
Windows Service, Check Configure MySQL Server as a Windows Service, check Start the MySQL Server at System Startup, Select Custom User and enter user name and password
Logging, uncheck all
Advanced Option, Table Names Case - Select Lower Case
Execute
Hangs at Backing up MySQL Database ...

Posted by developer:
 
Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Installer 1.4.39 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team:

MySQL Installer now uses the my.ini file to determine the location of a
data directory, which permits MySQL Installer to recognize a new path if
the directory path is changed manually. Previously, specifying an
alternative directory path was permitted only during the initial
installation of a server.

Thank you for the bug report.
