Same thing for: C:\ProgramData, the Installer is leaving the C:\ProgramData\MySQL folder.

Still happens after doing an upgrade. Tried with 5.5.22 and 5.5.24.

Now I see error #2753 from bug #63761 which doesn't allow me to complete the test case.

This bug appears to be fixed on the latest build (5.5.25).
