Re: Cant uninstall MYSQL Connector/NET 6.5.4 [Fix]

[yp ipha]

Hi,

As other people here, my uninstallation on win7 failed and I was then unable to reinstall. For the story I reinstalled everything because the workbench started to crash on start (simply removing the C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench folder and restarting workbench fixed that issue).

I was able to fix the issue executing the install (selecting Repair) and retrieving the log file via
the command line given by Gabriela into an command prompt run as administrator:

C:\>msiexec /i "C:\mysql-connector-net-6.5.4.msi" /L*V "C:\log.txt"

The first error for in the log.txt file created was: Cannot access file specified C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 6.5.4\Assemblies\v2.0\mysql.data.dll

The folder didn't even exist so I created the folders

MySQL Connector Net 6.5.4
Assemblies
v2.0

And copied over the file mysql.data.dll from C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Installer\

I was then able to rerun the command line installation successfully.

Best Regards,
Yipi
