I just verified the md5 checksum so the problem is definitely in the build

Kerry, glad your problem is solved. Thanks for your interest in MySQL.

So, what resolved the problem? I still have it, the md5 signature matches, the download(s from multiple mirrors) all fail with the reported error

Kerry, sorry I misread your post... Did you try with 5.1.2? As for me I can't repeat this problem even though I installed it on many systems.

Hi Kerry. I checked msi-s for both 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 and found what appears the cause of problem... Property.QualifiedProductName == MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.11 thus, probably, install/uninstall is trying to use old info in registry, and failing. There might be some other hard-coded stuff there too. I have informed Kent and Georg of this problem.

Kent committed the fix, so I assume that means he thought it was okay.

A note has been added to the 5.1.3 changelog: Installation of Connector/ODBC would fail because it was unable to uninstall a previous installed version. The file being requested would match an older release version than any installed version of the connector.
