Description:
First of all the bug is for Administrator AND Query Browser...

Install Administrator AND Query Browser.
Then Uninstall one and run the other, you will get the win-error that "libmysqlx.dll" is not found. When uninstalling it will delete some of the shared-dlls, so the other program will fail to start.

How to repeat:
Look description.
No matters what of both you uninstall, running the other later is futile, like the borgs ;)

Suggested fix:
Review the uninstallation process.
Don't use shared-dlls.
Make some mystical ritual to make Windows work ;)

Thanks for reporting. This has been fixed in MA 1.0.9 and QB 1.0.5 alpha. Now the two programs install into different directories per default.

Until we have an installer for all GUI tools, we have to treat every tool as own product with no shared libs - this gives a small overhead in 4MB in shared .dlls but is a clean solution till we get the general installer.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:
