Installer for 8.0.11 fails to connect to server

[Peter Donahue]

I've attempted to install 8.0.11 several times. As I run thru the installer, I see that the MySQL80 service is running, 2 mysqld processes are running, port 3306 is active and being listened to on address 0.0.0.0 by one of the mysqld processes. And a firewall rule has been added to allow port 3306.
But the validation connection to the server fails.
If I try to telnet to port 3306 that also fails.

Appreciate any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong.

I've included the log from the installer below:
