Description:
Hi,

I am trying to perform command line install of QB from gui-tools bundle.

But I get libmysqlqb.dll error.  And msgbox asks for re-install of product.

How to repeat:
1 .Unistall QB.
2. Run following commands

msiexec /i F:\mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r1a-win32.msi ADDLOCAL=MysqlGuiToolsCommon /qn
msiexec /i F:\mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r1a-win32.msi ADDLOCAL=MysqlAdministrator /qn

Suggested fix:
Correct issues with the way MySQL QueryBrowser is packed into the HUI tools bundle to allow for 'feature' install from command line.

Appears package will repair from commandline quite niceley..

msiexec /f F:\mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r1a-win32.msi /passive

Thank you for the report.

Are you agree this is "Not a bug" then? If you are not, please, explain why and reopen bug.

This is a bug with the MSI installer for GUI-TOOLS.

I should have power of installing any feature I want from GUI-TOOLS.MSI by specifing unnattended commond line parameters in my first post.

QB is only one that wont do this.  My previous post was a work around.

This is my second MSI installer bug.  Can you give me direct email of person who packs for windows?

Not yet fixed.

I can install MySQL Query Browser from command line using current GUI Tools package:

C:\My Documents\_installers>msiexec /i mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r3-win32.msi ADDLOCAL=MysqlGuiToolsCommon /qn
C:\My Documents\_installers>msiexec /i mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r3-win32.msi ADDLOCAL=MysqlQueryBrowser /qn
C:\My Documents\_installers>msiexec /f mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r3-win32.msi

You can obtain current 5.0-r3 version of MySQL GUI Tools from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html.

Sveta,  Looks like you went and run a 3rd command '/f' which fixes the error I was trying to get you to repeat.  Could you please unistall all Tools and only try the first 2 commands.

Thanks

jared, you are right. Thank you to correct me.

But if one issues commands in different they all install fine:

C:\My Documents\_installers>msiexec /i mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r3-win32.msi
ADDLOCAL=MysqlQueryBrowser /qn
C:\My Documents\_installers>msiexec /i mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r3-win32.msi
ADDLOCAL=MysqlGuiToolsCommon /qn

Have found another problem with r3a bundle where when ever I try to install single component the whole package of components gets installed.

Have you experienced that one?

As long as I can get Admin + QB + ToolsCommon all installed silently without to much fuss, then I would consider the bug closed.

Yes, they install. But if issue commands in order you originally described, there is "not libmysqlqb.dll etc." error. So I will stay status of the bug report as "Verified" to give developers to decide it is bug or not.

Hi,

What you want has to be performed in a single command like this.

msiexec /i F:\mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r1a-win32.msi ADDLOCAL="MysqlGuiToolsCommon,MysqlAdministrator"
/qn

Please note that you must not use a space between the feature listing. The feature "MysqlGuiToolsCommon" is not designed to work as a stand alone installation and therefore you run into issues that lead into the need of repairing the installation.
