Installation package ran, but did not upgrade?
Ran installation package, it did not upgrade and nothing happened!
A few apps and sites e.g. Wordpress require upgrade from my old mySql v5.7.26 to the current 8.0.42 or they will charge me more money!?!
So, I downloaded mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.41.0.msi, stopped the current mysql57 service and ran the .msi, then I started the service with a new name, but the old version persisted. I ran the .msi twice.
The mySql directory with the older version is still there! In dos cmd, I asked mySql which version, says old 5.7.28 and still working.
So what happened and how do I get the .msi to upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0.42 (or any other more current version)?
