Description:
.NET Exception thrown.

 at System.DateTime.Parse(String s)
   at WexInstaller.Core.Package.get_Published()
   at WexInstaller.Wizards.AddProductsWizard.SelectProductsPage.productTree_AfterSelect(Object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)

How to repeat:
Run: mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.21.1.msi on a Win8.1 x64 system.
Select Custom Install.
Select MySQL Server 5.6.21-x64 from the 'available products' list, or in fact, any product.

The exception is thrown.

If you continue, the UI of the installer is unresponsive.

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=74117.
