how to resolve canon easy print ex with mysql

Also having a Canon printer, 
I get MySQL Server 5.5 on XP/32-bit installed
into C:\Programme\Canon\Easy-WebPrint EX

The reason is a registry setting which should not be there:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ 
(directly and NOT in a subkey, as it should be)
contains the entries InstallLocation, UninstallString
and a few more that relate to the Canon software.

Just delete 
 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallLocation
 
and MySQL Server installs into the "correct" location.
