I have downloaded Mysql 8.0.32, free version, I received following error on installing the server
Adding new service
New service added
Ended configuration step: Adjusting Windows service

Beginning configuration step: Initializing database (may take a long time)

Attempting to run MySQL Server with --initialize-insecure option...
Starting process for MySQL Server 8.0.32...
Starting process with command: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file="C:\Program Data\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\my.ini" --console --initialize-insecure=on --lower-case-table-names=1...
mysqld: Can't get stat of '' (OS err no 2 - No such file or directory)
The designated data directory C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\ is unusable. You can remove all files that the server added to it.
Aborting
Process for mysqld, with ID 1608, was run successfully and exited with code 1.
Failed to start process for MySQL Server 8.0.32.
Database initialization failed.
Ended configuration step: Initializing database (may take a long time)

The above error was occurring on previous version 8.0.31. I do not know what exactly it is. If any one can show remedy for smooth installation

I have with me Windows 10 Pro Original, and installing via windows installer

Hope to receive answer
