Description:
The Documentation File (.chm) is corrupted.

How to repeat:
Double-click on \Docs\manual.chm

Please see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

"If an error occurs when you try to open a CHM documents and the document content does not display, right-click on the document icon and select Properties. Then click the Unblock button in the Properties window and click Apply."

Does this help?

Hi,

No. I can't find any 'Unblock' button. 

This is the first time I got this error. The message is: "Can't open the file: mk:@MSITStore:D:\MySQL\mysql-6.0.6-alpha-win32\Docs\manual.chm."

MD5 of the ZIP file "Without installer (unzip in C:\)" is ok.

The file http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/refman-6.0-en.chm is ok.

Which is the version/revision of the Ref. Man. included in the build?

Please note the difference in size of the file included in the the build and the file that you can download from the web site.

Thank you for the bug report. I was able to repeat with the below packages:

mysql-noinstall-6.0.6-alpha-win32.zip
mysql-noinstall-6.0.6-alpha-winx64.zip

There is now a test added when creating the source TAR, that
the included .chm file is not corrupt. This test is very basic,
it uses a tool to verify the content can be unpacked, but the
test is verified to have caught the corruption that lead to this
error report.

This chm verification test was used for 5.1.30.

No changelog entry needed.
