Description

### Platform

Windows

### Operating system version

Windows 11 25H2

### System architecture

Intel (x86)

### Herd Version

1.28.0

### Bug description

I just installed MySQL as a service and I noticed the binaries that are downloaded include hidden macOS files.
Every file is duplicated:
- filename.ext
- ._filename.ext
Please make sure you do not bundle these files, or at least delete them automatically on Windows.

In addition, inside services//mysql, there is an empty folder which I presume was used for extracting the downloaded archive. This folder should be removed as well.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 11 MySQL service installation and inspect services//mysql after the archive is downloaded and extracted. Check how the bundled binaries and extraction directory are created; done means no ._filename.ext duplicates remain and the empty extraction folder is removed.
