Description:
When installing MySQL For Excel 1.1.1 with the MySQL Installer on Windows 64 bits, the installation directory is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL For Excel  1.1.1" with two spaces between "Excel" and "1.1.1".

When installing MySQL For Excel 1.1.1 without the MySQL Installer, the correct installation direction "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL For Excel 1.1.1" (one space betwen "Excel" and "1.1.1") is used.

This bug is not critical but administrators may have registry configuration issues when using a workaround for the bug 68746 "Excel-Add-In is only installed for user account that the installation runs Under".

How to repeat:
1) Install MySQL For Excel 1.1.1 with the MySQL Installer
2) Check the name of the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL" (64 bits) or C:\Program Files\MySQL (32 bits): 
should be
"MySQL For Excel 1.1.1"
instead of
"MySQL For Excel  1.1.1"

Suggested fix:
Replace the double spaces by a single space in the path used by MySQL Installer.

Could not reproduce this bug anymore.
Tested with Installer 1.4.15, installing 2 different versions of MySQL for Excel: 1.1.1 as described by the bug report, and also latest 1.3.6.
On both tests the install path was correct, without a double space in its installation folder name.
