Unable to Install MySQL Server 8.0.17 with Error “The action ‘Install’ for product ‘MySQL Server 8.0.17’ failed”
Hello there
I am unable to install MySQL Server on a Windows 10 PC. I have downloaded the installer mysql-installer-community-8.0.16.0.msi from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=486089, which I am running as an administrator.
I already have a number of products installed (Workbench, Shell, Router and some connectors). I click on “Add”, then select “MySQL Server 8.0.17 – X64” with the default options.
The installation fails. The log is quite long, and doesn’t contain any errors other than the final line. I have attached the last few lines below:
1: Action 10:25:24: ExecSecureObjects.
1: Action 10:25:25: Rollback. Rolling back action:
1: ExecSecureObjects
1: Writing system registry values
1: Creating shortcuts
1: Copying new files
1: Creating folders
1: Updating component registration
1: 1: MySQL Server 8.0 2: {827F2F48-CCB9-4018-9AA3-0CA9FA3223E1} 3: 3
1: The action 'Install' for product 'MySQL Server 8.0.17' failed.
Any help greatly appreciated, including where I can look to find details of what the error actually is.
