Re: MySQL Installer 8.0.28 installation fails

[W S]

Yes, it's "Server Computer" on port 3306, new installation on a fresh Windows server, with a few different logging options set. I don't think any of those could have been the issue.

Following the suggestion of Peter Brawley, here is the output:

I then tried removing the argument "MySQL80" from that call and the service starts:

Now how do I get the installer to remove this argument from the service? I really want to run the installer from start to finish and not hack something undocumented together...
