Description:
I'm referring to this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/windows-installation-layout.html

I used noinstall, and I see the following subdirs that are not listed in the page:

support-files
sql-bench
mysql-test
docs
data (it's not under All Users)

I also think that other MySQL versions's layouts should be checked, for Windows.

How to repeat:
read manual

Suggested fix:
fix manual
