- Added extra validation to avoid High Severity Error while restarting when watched MySQL products were uninstalled while Notifier was not running.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Notifier 1.1.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

A "high severity" error was thrown when restarting Notifier if MySQL
services/products had been removed while Notifier was not running.

Thank you for the bug report.
