[JOSE RAMIREZ]

Hello Felix,

The issue is being looked at by the corresponding team. In the meantime, please follow below steps that have proven to work for many users reporting this issue:

1. C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Product Cache\mysql-8.0.17-winx64.msi
2. When the wizard pops, exclude "Server Data Files" (Red "X" on the drive)
3. The wizard will install the server
4. Open the regular MySQL Installer
5. Click the "Reconfigure" link
6. Finish server configuration.

Regards,
