MySQL install fails due to Writing configuration file-Invalid Server Template

[Victor Garcia]

I am new to MySQL. I downloaded the MySQL windows installer and selected I guess everything I thought I would need for x64 and x86 products especially utilities, workbench and MySQL Server for MYSQL 5.7.19.

When I get to the Configuration Steps section I select Execute and this is what happens:
The Stopping Server turns green
Next Writing Configuration file turns red.
Next I checked the Log File:

The Log File states:
Beginning configuration step: Stopping Server [if necessary]
Ended configuration step: Stopping Server [if necessary]

Beginning configuration step: Writing Configuration File
Invalid server template
Ended configuration step: Writing configuration file.

I closed the program.
Next I went to the Installer executable right clicked and ran as Administrator
Went back to the same issue. same reason.

Next a Taskeng.exe command prompt opened and provided these details:

========================Start Initialization==================================

Here's my PC:

Are there any obvious conflicts to cause the issues I am having?

I can not seem to get information on the Writing Configuration File error

or the Invalid Server Template error to know what I need to understand to

resolve this issue.


Thank you all in advance
