Bug Description
Here is what I did:
1. Installed mysql-5.1 from MSI in a non-default directory and skipped the config wizard. So, mysql-5.1 binaries were installed, but no service.
2. In an elevated command promt, ran mysql --install to install a service. Then started the service by using the Control Panel, specifying --skip-grant-tables and --datadir. Service runs and accepts queries.
3. Ran mariadb-5.1 MSI. Installer completed succesfully but no option to run the upgrade wizard was provided. Manually starting the wizard .exe reports "there is no service that can be upgraded", even though a MySQL service does exist, even if does not have a my.ini or registry entries outside of those managed by the service manager.

Philip, can you run
sc qc <servicename>
from command line and post the results here?
MySQL (or Maria) would actually start as service ( communicate with service control manager ) only in 2 cases , when service definition is either mysqld. exe> --defaults- file=<path\ to\my.ini> <servicename> mysqld. exe> <servicename>
<path\to\
or
<path\to\
