Description:
See also bug report 87957.

The installer, even though it removed an existing service and the files related to version 5.6.xx during an "Add..." did not preserve any configurtion information, such as the location of my data directory.  It happily removed the old version, and did a new install.  SILENTLY.

How to repeat:
See bug report 87957

Please see bug report 87957 for the steps.  Sorry, not about to redo all of this just to get you a screen shot of the Add.  Wayyyyy too much work for zero information.  As I mentioned in my report, the Add uninstalled the old version SILENTLY.
