Description:
I use the MySQL-DataProvider for .NET 6.5.4.0

I wanted to update and learned, that I have to use the MySQL Installer for Windows.

When in Feature Selction, I expand a the branch "Application". It shows the subitems but throws an unhandled exception:

"Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein.
Parametername: source"

Translation:
"The Value shall not be NULL.
Parametername: source"

I tried both, webinstaller and installer.

How to repeat:
This happens each time I try to install ...
