无法在 Windows 10 上安装 Mysql 服务器

Question

I could really use some help here.

So I am trying to install Mysql onto my Widows - 64 bit machine and I am having a lot of frustrating issues.

All of the other components through the MySQL installer will download and install fine but every single time the server fails. I have tried different variants of Microsoft Visual from 2013 , 2015 and 2017 and none of them change anything, it always fails. I have looked all over the internet for a fix and have found nothing that changes the result of it failing.

This is incredibly frustrating and I will answer any questions you have to help me solve this. I am not well versed in this so please understand.

I have tried many different versions of the server as well.

Answer 1

When you select the server in the installer, expand the list of sub-components in the panel on the right and untick "Server Data Files". This worked perfectly on my laptop without needing to uninstall / clean up.
