Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
See also bug report 87957.

When I did the "Add...", the installer did not use the directory path for the old version AND IT DID NOT PROMPT ME FOR A NEW ONE.  It just arbitrarily put it on my "C" drive in its default location.

(This was REALLY ANNOYING because my "C" drive is an SSD, and I don't generally put software there that is not required when booting).

How to repeat:
See the steps in bug report 87957.

Hello Jay,

Thank you for the bug report.
Please select "Advanced Options" to change installation path.

Thanks,

Well, I am not going to reinstall at this point, but my recollection was that there was no offering of "advanced options" when I did the Add.  (It was there when I did my original install a few years ago).

Hello Jay,

Thank you for your feedback.
I could not repeat this issue at my end with the provided information. 
If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to 'Open'.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

I suspect I just missed it.  I was looking for a place where the path was displayed, and I see that doesn't display until you click advanced.
