Description:
The MySQL installer creates a registry key named
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\yourapp.Exe".

This seems to indicate that some installer or registration template or
example code was not edited fully or removed.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL using the Windows binary installer version.
Look in the registry (e.g., run regedit and search for "mysql" a number
of times.)

Greg: Please edit the InstallShield for to change this default executable
name. How we have several binaries maybe a short explanation is best.
