Which MySQL Installer do I need?

I have been in this same position with Oracle XE and now MySQL. There are dozens of installers with shades of or significant differences. I read for 30 minutes and selected an .msi MySQL installer tried to install it 8 times and was never able to access it... My situation:

I need MySQL on my work laptop (Windows 7 Pro 64) so I can have a PowerShell script connect to the MySQL DB (my current installer mysql-5.7.11-winx64.msi) to manipulate a few tables I will create.

Once I get my script accessing the MySQL properly, I will move the script to a production server that runs MySQL, hoping, but not knowing, there is enough similarity between my laptop and the server to enable the script to run. I have uninstalled all previous versions of MySQL.

That's it. Nothing fancy or involved.

Can you suggest an installer that will install on my machine that I can then connect to?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
