MySQL Installer now uses the my.ini file to determine the location of a data directory, which permits MySQL Installer to recognize a new path if the directory path is changed manually. Previously, specifying an alternative directory path was permitted only during the initial installation of a server. (Bug #30433169, Bug #97263)

MySQL 5.6 servers could not be configured by MySQL Installer due to an error that prevented successful connection validation. (Bug #33191940)

Individual product features specified during an installation performed using MySQLInstallerConsole.exe were ignored and replaced by the product’s full set of features. (Bug #32055127)

After performing a silent installation, running a CLI command such as update failed to initialize MySQL Installer properly for first-time use. This, in turn, caused the product catalog to not be found and generated an error. (Bug #28655573, Bug #92445)

Attempts to run MySQLInstallerConsole.exe with the -silent command option produced onscreen prompting for user input. (Bug #24620263)
