Hello everybody,
I am trying to install MySql on a Windows 10 / 64 bits system, to use it with Visual Studio.
Some steps have already been crossed. I only saw installer for 32 bits platform, tried with the ZIP, had no success, decided to try the 32 bits installer and it appeared adapted to both platforms sizes. It failed for it claims Python 3.4. I was very proud of having installed Python 3.6 from
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-365/ as the last version shown on their main download page is 2.7 but the installation program still said Python 3.4 was not installed.
Well, as soon as I had installed the .Net connector, the installer woke up.
Now it did the installation, but failed initializing the database, as "mysqld: Character set '0.0' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\share\charsets\Index.xml' file".
Well, right that a certain number of charsets are defined in that file, but not 0.0
I promise that I never ordered anybody to use charset 0.0, or I did not know it.
What should I do ?
