Description:
The installer fails when doing either a "Developer Default" or "Full" install with a message box that states: Unable to determine the products that correspond with that setup type.

How to repeat:
Download the web installer for MySQL Community edition version 5.6.22.0 on a Windows x64 system.  When presented with a choice of Setup Type, accept the default, Developer Default, by pressing the Next button.  A message box appears: Unable to determine the products that correspond with that setup type.

If "Full" is selected instead of "Developer Default" the same error appears.

Suggested fix:
A workaround is to do a custom install and manually select the components you need.

Thank you for the bug report. I was able to repeat when the Windows machine is a fresh installation (none MySQL Product Installed).

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Installer 1.4.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

A new installation would sometimes fail while performing a "Developer
Default" or "Full" type of installation, and instead it would report the
following error: "Unable to determine the products that correspond with
that setup type." 

Workaround: perform a "Custom" type of installation.

Thank you for the bug report.
