Hello J Scavok, Thank you for the report. I tried 5.7.18 installation using installer and following your steps but I'm not seeing reported issues. Moreover, looking at '5.7.17' entries in your screenshot I wonder whether this is caused by 5.7.18 installer or previous one. Could you please confirm the same? Thanks, Umesh

You've made a keen observation--and I admit I missed it myself. It is true 5.7.17 _was_ present at one time. Its source was mysql-5.7.17-winx64.zip, which as you know is _not_ the same as a MSI. 5.7.17 was _not_ installed as a Windows Service. And the only Windows setting I remember changing was the path environment variable. Now then: did I change the Windows Firewall also? I don't remember doing so. But if it was necessary in order to run mysqld 5.7.17, then I must have done so. After I removed 5.7.17 by deleting its directory, I ran Piriform CCleaner to resolve any Windows Registry issues. So it is strange that these presumably leftover Windows Registry issues from 5.7.17 would suddenly appear _after_ installing 5.7.18.

Thank you for confirming. Considering 5.7.17 was not installed through any *MSI installer, I assume earlier manual attempt attempt while setting might have left any footprints. I'm not sure installer would attempt to change anything which was set manually, so lets assume that it was a corner case and now it is not possible to reproduce. Thank you for your interest in MySQL. Thanks, Umesh
