The main reason for he error is misplaced ADD_DIRECTORY in top-level CMakeLists.txt.
ADD_DIRECTORY(win/packaging) was places before win/upgrade_wizard, and MSI was not able to detect that upgrade wizard was built, and thus excluded upgrade wizard entirely.
- build executables we have in 5.3 (mysql_install_db.exe, mysq_upgrade_service.exe, upgrade wizard), and MSI
- add some missing headers to windows specific source files.
This needs to be done since 5.5 is using WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN preprocessor constant thus windows.h
no more includes whiole Windows
- do not deliver perl scripts (mysql_install_db.pl & friends) -they do not work, are not documented, and we
have native executables for this functionality. do not pack echo.exe, replace.exe into MSI, they
are not needed. Do not build resolveip on Windows, it is not used.
- precache results of of system checks in cmake/os/WindowsCache.cmake (like it is alreay done for majority of tests
to speed up cmake run with VS)
- make feedback plugin DEFAULT on Windows (so MSI works if user enables plugin),
fix null pointer access in PSI_register
If upgradable instances are found, bring a new dialog to inform user about it. This gives user a
chance to deselect "database instance" feature early, because experience shows nobody really looks at features and their in their description in "customize setup" dialog. This also tells user
that existing instances can be upgraded.
The general technique to generate MSI using CMake is taken from MySQL 5.5
Additional features not present in 5.5 installer :
-optionally creating a new database
(as Windows service), using new mysql_install_db.exe to do the job
- optional upgrade of existing services from old MySQL or Maria installation.
This work is actually done by the upgrade wizard that is launched at the
end of installation.
