If you encounter an error from the MariaDB MSI Installer Package, you may need to download/install the "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019" (reference https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installation-issues-on-windows/) before re-executing the MariaDB MSI Installer Package.

Version 10.2: § Step "Custom Setup": Option "Debug Symbols" is replaced with option "HeidiSQL". § Step "Default instance properties: Option "Create anonymous account" is replaced with option "Use UTF8 as default server's character set". § Step "Other Database Properties": Option "Page size" was addded. § Additional Step with option "Enable the Feedback plugin and submit anonymous usage information".
MSI does not provide a solution to move data directory after the installation. It needs to be done manually instead. http://stackoverflow.com/a/40410513/547065 contains instructions on how to accomplish it.
