Hi, I haven't encountered that error, on any machine I have tested on. Can you explain a little more

Are you administrator when doing the install? Do you have Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 installed on the computer?

[dtc13579]

Yes, I tried running the setup as admin. Yes, 4.5 is installed.

Ok, I'll see if I can find a solution :+1:

I got the same error. It is an error with the installer. I downloaded all versions from sourceforge and they all give the same error 1001.

The installer puts the files in the directory (program files(x86)\,...), then gives the error and then deletes the files again. Here a screenshot of the files (not pressed ok yet on the 1001 error).

I copied the files before I pressed ok at the error 1001 and then it I can open the program (MySQLBackupManager.exe) but I it doesn't seem to make the backups.

Maybe it's a problem with installing the backupservice?

I tried installing MySQLBackupService.exe as a service and this is what I got:

[log] Installing assembly 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Rohwedder Software\Mysql Backup Manager\MySQLBackupService.exe'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole = logfile = C:\Program Files (x86)\Rohwedder Software\Mysql Backup Manager\MySQLBackupService.InstallLog assemblypath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Rohwedder Software\Mysql Backup Manager\MySQLBackupService.exe Installing service MySQL Backup Service...

I think this is why we get the error 1001 during the installation. Something prevents it from being installed as a service. I tried executing MySQLBackupService.exe, but then it says it has to be installed as a service.

Edit: I added the program as a service using these commands: sc create MysqlBackupService binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rohwedder Software\Mysql Backup Manager\MySQLBackupService.exe" Displayname= "MysqlBackupService" start= auto

sc start MysqlBackupService

Now MysqlBackupService is running as a service, but it still doesn't create backups. :-(

P.S.: Maybe you can add a functionality to test if you can connect to a database?

Windows 2008 same, error 1001

[jamiew0w]

Having same errors on 2012 r2.

[Bobspadger]

yep having this on win2008 standard

[lenaicmignot]

Hi Martin, I want suggest you a way for resolution of Error 1001 that I have found googling: http://geeks.vivavivu.com/2013/04/solving-error-1001-unable-to-get.html

[dabros]

Same issue here - the fix @fabrix77 quoted seems all developer side too. I did grab source files but had 'upgrade error' when i opened it in VS 2012, so figured even if i compiled it would give same error

I just had a look at the code - this happens in the AfterInstall event of the service, specifically in the library.GetMySQLBinLocation() method. If the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MySQL AB" registry key does not exist (i.e. when you're not using the MySQL Installer, or when you're using MariaDB instead, or when you're using a 32-bit OS, or the 64-bit version of MySQL), then the Utilities.RetrieveMySQLInstallationBinPath() method causes a null reference error.

For everyone who's having the issue, here's a temporary workaround until Martin can fix this:

1. Create a new registry key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node, called "MySQL AB"
2. In there, create a Subkey called "MySQL Server"
3. In this key, create a String value called "Location"
4. Set the value to your MySQL install folder (make sure it ends with a backslash!)

Here's a regedit export that makes it a bit easier (just edit the install location):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MySQL AB\MySQL Server]
"Location"="D:\\Temp\\"

Now, the installer finds the correct key, and adds the install folder + "bin\" to your PATH variable. This allows the service to find the mysqldump.exe file for backups.

Martin doesn't seem interested in the pull request. I've created a fork and released version 1.4 which fixes the issue: https://github.com/cbaerike/MySQL-Backup-Manager/releases

I still got the error on Install. Its a windows server standar 2007. I dont know what else can i do

While most issues causing this error are fixed, there still seem to be instances where this can happen. This thread continues here: https://github.com/cbaerike/MySQL-Backup-Manager/issues/12
