MySQL Installer for Windows After configuring MySQL Router, the root account exists in the user table as  root@localhost  (local) only, instead of  root@%  (remote). Regardless of where the router and client are located, even if both are located on the same host as the seed server, any connection that passes through the router is viewed by server as being remote, not local. As a result, a connection made to the server using the local host (see the example that follows), does not authenticate. This section describes the MySQL Installer product catalog, the dashboard, and other actions related to product selection and upgrades. The product catalog stores the complete list of released MySQL products for Microsoft Windows that are available to download from MySQL Downloads. By default, and when an Internet connection is present, MySQL Installer attempts to update the catalog at startup every seven days. You can also update the catalog manually from the dashboard (described later). An up-to-date catalog performs the following actions: The catalog includes all development releases (Pre-Release), general releases (Current GA), and minor releases (Other Releases). Products in the catalog will vary somewhat, depending on the MySQL Installer release that you download. The MySQL Installer dashboard is the default view that you see when you start MySQL Installer after the initial setup finishes. If you closed MySQL Installer before the setup was finished, MySQL Installer resumes the initial setup before it displays the dashboard. Products covered under Oracle Lifetime Sustaining Support, if installed, may appear in the dashboard. These products, such as MySQL for Excel and MySQL Notifier, can be modified or removed only. 133 Note MySQL Installer Dashboard •Identifies when product updates are available for the installed products listed in the dashboard. •The  Add  operation from the dashboard. •The  Custom  setup type during the initial setup. •Populates the  Available Products  pane of the Select Products page.
