Description:
If you look at the download sections for Windows of both 5.0.30 and 5.2.14 beta, you will notice that there are 3 versions:

Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer
(mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.14-beta-win32.msi)

Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive  
(mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.14-beta-win32-noinstall.zip)

Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive
(mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.14.zip)

However, in 5.1.18a, there are only the first and last download options. The "noinstall" version is missing.

How to repeat:
1. Go to the downloads page of MySQL Workbench 5.1.18a (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.0.html#downloads)

2. Select "Microsoft Windows" as the platform.

3. Download the only "zip" option available (mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a.zip).

4. Extract the zip to any directory.

5. Notice that there is no "exe" that you can run.

Suggested fix:
There should be a third download option (noinstall), similar to what other versions of the software have. This "noinstall" download should contain an exe that users can run.

Thanks for the info,

we missed that file when switching to the new publishing system. it has been re-uploaded and is currently spreading to the mirrors. so it should become available later today. if it doesn't please re-open this report.
