Description:
using mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.21.1.msi

choose custom install

Exception is thrown when selecting/viewing components to add/remove

Note machine was on UK date format dd/mm/yyyy & the date was 22/10/2014, suspect this is only an issue after the 12th of the month on a UK machine.

How to repeat:
Set up a UK locale windows machine

ensure date is set to 13th of the month or later

Run mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.21.1.msi

choose custom install

On "Select Products and Features" page change features/view features, generally test this page.

Date Exception will be thrown

Suggested fix:
Check machine date format & convert all dates to the correct format I guess!? :-)

Thank you for the bug report. I was able to repeat using my own timezone Windows setup (Brasilia) so I guess the exception happens disregarding the locale setup.
