Description:
Concerning Installer: mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.21.1.msi

In installation type "custom" there occur an unhandled exception if you select the product in the tree list for select them to install.

The same exception occur if I install the basic "server" installation (which work) and restart the installer again and select "add" for install other components.

Exception Report (seems to be equal at the first installation with type "custom"):

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to repeat:
- Open Installer
- Select "Custom" on clear platforms / Select "Add" if already MySQL components installed
- Navigate in the tree (left side) to a single product (for example Workbench)
- Click on a product and the Exception occur

Suggested fix:
System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
   at System.DateTime.Parse(String s)
--

Seems to me that there is a String parsed which holds an invalid date format?
Skip this error if it's not a required information?
