Description:
The BitRock installer includes all the items files:

    items-mysql-network.xml
    items-os.xml
    items-slavestatus-mysql-4.1.6.xml
    items-status-mysql-5.0.11.xml
    items-variables-mysql-5.0.11.xml

It also references them in the INI file:

item-files = items-variables-mysql-5.0.11.xml;items-status-mysql-5.0.11.xml;items-slavestatus-mysql-4.1.6.xml;items-os.xml;items-mysql-network.xml

I believe that only items-mysql-network.xml is needed and the others aren't, but check with Jan to be sure.

Note that this probably applies to all operating systems and not just Windows.

How to repeat:
Install using the BitRock installer.

Suggested fix:
1) Don't install any items files that aren't needed.
2) Only reference the needed and installed files in the INI file.
3) Make sure we do this on all platforms.

after installing 0.6.27 on Windows into a clean dir there are 5 .xml files installed, although there are only 2 mentioned in the 'item-files' value (item-files = items-slavestatus-mysql-4.1.6.xml;items-mysql-network.xml):

2006-09-30  01.38   4.984 items-mysql-network.xml
2006-09-30  01.38   2.267 items-os.xml
2006-09-30  01.38   7.233 items-slavestatus-mysql-4.1.6.xml
2006-09-30  01.38  47.301 items-status-mysql-5.0.11.xml
2006-09-30  01.38  45.276 items-variables-mysql-5.0.11.xml
