Re: Issue with installing 5.7

[Jose Ramirez]

Hello Christian,
MySQL Installer uses pre-defined templates when configuring a MySQL Server installation. The templates are part of a set of files that are automatically downloaded by MySQL Installer on first execution and also every X days based on your configurations. Recently a new template for Server 5.7 was published with an error which caused the reported behavior. As you've indicated, the error has now been fixed. I'm leaving the following three solutions as a reference for anyone impacted by this issue:

Option #1
1. Remove your current MySQL Server 5.7 installation.
2. Update line 156 of the "my-template-5.7.ini" file from
"named-pipe-full-access-group=" to "# named-pipe-full-access-group=". File is
located at "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for
Windows\Manifest\Templates".
3. Open Installer.
4. Run the MySQL Server 5.7 installation and configuration. It should now
complete without reporting the error.

Option #2
1. Remove your current MySQL Server 5.7 installation.
2. Remove your current MySQL Installer installation.
3. Install MySQL Installer once more to force the download of the most recent
manifest which already has the corrected template.
4. Run the MySQL Server 5.7 installation and configuration.

Option #3
1. Remove your current MySQL Server 5.7 installation.
2. Perform a catalog update. To get to the catalog update page click "Cancel"
button in the "Choosing a Setup Type" page. This should take you to the
dashboard of installed products. Click the "Catalog" button located in the
bottom right corner. Click the "Execute" button. You will get a prompt
stating that there is an upgrade available, you can either accept it or not,
this is optional. After the prompt click "Next" and "Finish". At this point
the most recent manifest (including the corrected templates) should have been
downloaded.
3. Run the MySQL Server installation and configuration.
