MariaDB

This error was seen with Windows Server 2022. The installation of MariaDB could not be completed.

Open

The solution was

• Let the dialog open

• Go into Windows Services, open Properties of the already available service MariaDB
  (The account MariaDB does not have a password, although the fields shows dots)

• Go to logon tab

• Empty the password fields an click Ok

• Click Retry in the dialog of the MariaDB dialog

This is a workaround, for a problem that seems to exist for long time and that does not have a reasonable explanation. Some information can be found on StackOverflow.
