Unsupported operating system for MySQL Workbench - windows 7 - mysql

I am using MySQL in my python 2.7 project.
I have created a database and tables on a windows 7 professional operating system (64-bit).
I want to see the data that is stored in the database's tables, using MySQL Workbench. The problem is I am getting the following message:
What should I do to solve this problem?
I know there is a MySQL archive from which I can download earlier versions of the workbench, but I don't know what version is suitable for my operating system. Does anybody know?
link to the archive -
https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
Thanks.

Install older version from mysql workbench download arechives https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/ and choose version 8.0.12
Install older version from mysql community edition download archives
https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/ and choose version 8.0.11 download the Windows (x86, 64-bit), ZIP Archive

Windows 7 is not a supported platform. See the platform list on the MySQL site: https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html.

I'm successfully using MySQL Workbench version 8.0.12 on Windows 7.
(Apparently this was the latest supported version and it doesn't have the compatibility warning.)

Please download a lower version of Mysql Workbench(in archives section on download page). This solved my problem.

Why won't MySQL 8.0.28 install on macOS 12 Monterey?

I downloaded the community version of MySQL but it won't install on macOS. How come?
Since the introduction of Apple M1 CPU, software like MySQL provided 2 versions for Apple M1 CPU (arm) and Intel CPU (x86).
Please make sure you downloaded the right version.
This works for me:
To download the MySQL Community Server, go to MySQL Community Downloads page and click Download button for macOS 11 (ARM, 64bit), DMG Archive. This will download the MySQL Community Server version 8.0. 27 file in your macOS' Download folde
I got the error below :
"mysql-8.0.31-macos12-x86_64.pkg” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
Below steps resolved this issue on my mac m1.
Download the x86 version(DMG) for Mac M1.
Double click the DMG and it'll open the .pkg file.
Rather than double clicking on the .pkg file, right click and open the package.
I encountered the same issue. I was able to resolve it by downloading the x86 version on my Macbook
As an workaround you also could consider getting mysql from brew with brew install mysql.
I found the Solution. You have to allow it to pass through in the system setting. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1AxFoomV0c

MySQL installer for Windows (MSI) for 5.7.33 insists on installing 8.0 components

Our application database schema is compatible with MySQL 5.7. A new team member accidentally installed MySQL 8.0.22 on Windows 10 using the MSI installer. The uninstall of version 8.0.22 was successful. However, the subsequent install of version 5.7.32 insists on re-installing version 8.0.22 components. How can version 8.0.22 be cleanly uninstalled to enable a correct 5.7.32 install?
As it turns out, it looks like MySQL implemented an MSI installer that can lay down bits from multiple releases. In the Setup Type phase, you can choose which release to install. As such, withdrawing this question accordingly.

Installing MySQL 5.7 on Windows

I am struggling to install MySQL 5.7 on Windows 10 after a clean removal of MySQL 8.0. The installer defaults to the version 8.0.12, with no way for me to change it.
When I run the installer (which has the version number 5.7.23.0), I am prompted to the following screen:
... despite the fact that this installer is (supposedly) for specifically the version 5.7.
I am unfamiliar with the manual installation process, so I was wondering if someone could help me install MySQL 5.7 on my PC (preferably all the other MySQL products such as the Connector and the Workbench as well). I've been trying to follow the instructions on the official documentation, but I stopped because I had no idea what I was doing.
I removed my MySQL 8.0.11 installation
Then I removed all the MySQL folders in the program and data folders
I disabled the gateway
Then started the installer for version 5.7.24 and that was oke.
First download all requirements and install them first
Then the installation was done. At the Installation screen, the status was ready to download, but I ignored it first and then I enabled the gateway again and the installation was fine.
At the installation screen it was clearly that version 5.7 would be installed. It only installed some 8.0 products (like the Shell, Router, connectors etc).
After checking, i've got Workbench 8 but MySQL 5.7.24

Teamcity Setup Issues

Good day
I am trying to setup my first TeamCity instance. I'm running windows 2016 server with mysql. I'm busy setting up the database connection and i'm getting the error.
The MySQL JDBC driver is not found in the C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\lib\jdbc directory.
Copy the driver .jar file to the directory. You can download it at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j.
For the MySQL server version 5.5 or higher, use the JDBC driver version 5.1.23 or higher.
But if i go to that link it doesn't give me the option to download a version for windows, it just has unix OS versions. Any help would be appreciated. ive been googling the issue but cant seem to find an answer for windows
From the drop down list choose "Platform Independent".

mysql community server vs mysql installer

I recently thought of upgrading mysql in my system for a project when I found two parallelly available downloads for windows in mysql site. I cannot figure out the difference between mysql community and mysql installer.
MySQL community is available for both 32 and 64 bit windows (both above 300 MBs) while mysql installer is 267 MB for 32 bit while just 1.6 MB for 64 bit (which looks like web installer).
So what extras are there in community server (its size is bigger) as compared to installer and if I go for windows installer, shall I go for 32 or 64 bit. I need offline installer though.
My system specs:
Windows 8.1 x64 Professional 8GB RAM
Link for mysql installer:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/
Link for mysql community server:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
PS: I did try a google search but cant find any good articles. I only found difference between community server and cluster.
Moreover, half of my batch mates were running community server while half of them mysql installer. Couldn't find much of the difference.
Both will install into same final setup. the web-community is online installer, you need to download to connect to the online server and installations files come from online while the community installer is an offline installer with full features. web-installer (online, need internet connection to complete the installation), community-installer(offline, full).
The difference between MySQL Community (mysql-8.0.18-winx64) and MySQL Installer (mysql-installer-community-8.0.18.0.msi) is that the MySQL Installer has
MySQL Server
MySQL Connectors
MySQL Workbench and sample models
MySQL for Excel
MySQL for Visual Studio,
Etc..
And MySQL Community only includes the MySQL Server.
Hope this helps anyone who is still looking for an answer.
The only difference is that MSI installer come with all mysql products (mysql server, mysql workbeanch, plugins, etc) and you have a wizar that guide you through install and it's check dependencys . That is the only diference i found using the MSI installer and the comunity edition.
It is more easy to use MSI installer if you don't know what products you have to install on your computer.
Be careful when you use the web installer, because you need that internet connection at your workplace work fine.
The differences are:
MySQL Community is for all Operating Systems including only the Server itself, whereas
MySQL Installer (MSI installer) is for Windows only and includes Windows specify integrations like Excel, and Visual Studio integrations.
mysql installer contains all in one including workbench
mysql community only contains mysql
