Description:
Upgrading an already installed version of MySQL for Excel (greater than 1.2.0) does not work at all, the only option is to uninstall the previous version and install the new one after uninstalling.
An error like the one below consistently appears upon upgrading. (The tests I did were upgrading from 1.3.0 > 1.3.1 and then from 1.3.1 > 1.3.2).

How to repeat:
1. Install any version of MySQL for Excel greater or equals 1.2.1 and lesser than 1.3.2 (or make sure it is already installed)
2. Make sure it works in Excel after installation, close Excel.
3. Upgrade MySQL for Excel to a newer version (do not uninstall)
4. After the installation is finished, run Excel and open MySQL for Excel
