I actually reinstalled the 8.0.16 first then ran through the upgrade from the installer before installing 8.0.21. so i am not totally positive where or when the %program data%/MYSQL Server 8/Data/mysql folder and general_log database was created.

Hello David Marlow, Thank you for the bug report. I tried to reproduce your issue on windows 10 with MySQL server 8.0.16 and upgraded to 8.0.21 but I am not seeing any issues at my end. To investigate further this issue at our end, may I kindly request you to provide installation log and server log. Thanks. Regards, Ashwini Patil

Ashwini, sorry I missed your email for logs ...those are long gone and I am kicking myself for not including them here ..but by the time I reported this they would probably have been worthless anyway with all the different things I tried. I suspect again .. 1. write permission error. 2. path errors because of non-standard my.ini location and data/log/file paths 3. some hidden installer bug same reasons \ instead of \\ kind of stuff or again non default locations. if i am the only one that has run into this then ..closing it is probably OK ...I did get my DB back so I am a happy camper ..
