Solved - MYSQL install problem using canon directory

Well, after several installs and uninstalls of Mysql the problem was that the \bin, \docs\, \help, \include, \lib, and \share directories were under \program files\canon\easy-webprint EX. instead of \program files\mysql\mysql server 5.6

The directory in error was \Program files\Canon\easy-webprintEX\. Fortunately there were a number of users having the same problem which showed up on a google search. A sample:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ directly (and NOT in a subkey, as it should be) contains the entries InstallLocation, UninstallString and a few more that relate to the Canon software.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallLocation and MySQL Server installs into the "correct" location."

Until the entries in .\Uninstall directory were removed the .\canon\easy-webprintEx\ always reinstalled the sub directories (\bin etc) from Mysql.

Using Regedit, I deleted the 3 entries with \canon\easy-webprintEX\. Stopped the service, uninstalled all Mysql programs, rebooted, and used Mysql installer to set up community version.
