MySql Installer for Windows installs MySql for Visual Studio to wrong locations

[Anthony Cary]

Hello,
When performing an install of MySql for Visual Studio to Visual Studio 2017, files are copied to the wrong locations, resulting in a failure. There is no error message or warning, but none of the MySql for Visual Studio features are available in Visual Studio 2017.

OS: Windows 10
Visual Studio version: I have Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise, and Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise installed.

Instead of copying the extension directories and files into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7 folder and appropriate child folders, the installer copies files to:

- C:\VSPath2017\
- C:\Common7
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7 - This is the 2019 folder! And the toolbar then is available in 2019!

If I select to also install MySql for Visual Studio into VS 2013, VS 2015, and VS 2017 Pro, the installer installs to these folders as well:

- C:\VSPath2013
- C:\VSPath2015
- C:\VSPath2017Pro

This is the most recent version of the installer, downloaded today, 8/13/2019.
