Hello,

I had the same issue with MySqlConnector/Net 6.3.0 and now it is fixed on my PC.
I do not know exactly what solve the issue, so here the historic of all what I did to obtain finally a valid configuration:

I installed first the version V6.2.3 of the connector but it did not show in the list of data source in VS10. Then I tried to install the V6.3.0 but it failed due to the issue with the "Config" folder. I renamed the "Config" folder temporarily to "Configxxx" and then the install worked properly. After the install I renamed "Configxxx" to "Config". I could see now "Mysql Database" in the list of data source in VS10. Unfortunately the "Add connection" window disappeared immediatelly each time I hit a key. This is the situation you are facing also. Sorry to detail so much all the stages but I think the install/Uninstall of previous version or the failure of the V6.3.0 installation is the cause of the problem.
Here now what I did that fixed the issue:
I renamed again the "Config" folder temporarily to "Configxxx" and uninstall the V6.3.0. Then I noticed that in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\machine.config there is still a .Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer under <DbProviderFactories>. So I removed it. Then I installed MySqlConnector/Net 6.3.1 and after the install I renamed "Configxxx" to "Config".
And "miracle" now it works.

Hope this can help you
