In contrast, the upgrade operation does not require or prompt you to configure the upgraded product.

When configured, MySQL Router runs as a local Windows service. During the initial setup, choose any predetermined setup type, except  Server only , to install the latest GA version of the tools. Use the  Custom  setup type to install an individual tool or specific version.
