Description:
I was trying to install the mySQL installer 5.6.21 but I get stucked at pendencies.
For start it lists as pendencies some 64bits tools that will never install on my 32bits Windows XP.
When I try to install the other pendencies that don´t have specification (32bit or 64bit) it tryies to install a 64bit version that also won´t install.
For these last pendencies I instaled them manualy, downloading a 32bit version of each item.
I still have these pendencies:
MySQL for Excel 1.3.2 - Visual Studio tools for Office 2010 64bits
MySQL for Visual Studio 1.3.2 - Visual Studio (I installed this one from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
but it is still not enough)

How to repeat:
Install the MSI Installer 5.6.21 on a WinXP 32bit sp3 

Suggested fix:
I think the installer mistook my 32bit WinXP for a 64bit and it won´t let go that idea. I think if this was a selectable or separate installer would do the trick.
