Upgrading from MySql server from 5.6 to 5.7.

I am attempting to do an in-place upgrade for MySQL server from 5.6.31 to 5.7.14.
I have with me .msi files for 5.7.14 and 5.6.35
when I execute the .msi files it detects the previously installed version of the server and provides me options to remove, upgrade etc.
When I attempt to upgrade from 5.6. to 5.6.35, through the .msi file of 5.6.35 it happens seamlessly, whereas for 5.7.14 I am confronted with a message stating "none of the products have upgrades available".
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/upgrading.html - in this link it clearly states that "Upgrading one release level is supported."

The .msi for 5.7.14's server is present in "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Product Cache" folder at the time when I attempt to upgrade. then why is it giving me the error message?

Can you please help me do an in-place upgrade, up a release level, without having to uninstall the existing version and reinstalling the new one (without loosing the existing database)?
