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

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.
When I am trying to re-install MySQL Community Servers 8.0 on Windows 10, it is giving me the option just to update it and not to install it, although I have already deleted all the previous MySQL packages from my computer so that I can re-install it from scratch.
I need to run the 5.7 server and the 8.0 server. Not necessarily at the same time, but i need them both installed. I've installed 5.7 and now I can't install 8.0 CE Server.
Downloaded MSI installer from here https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html
It offer to update Connector/Python and that's it.
What am i doing wrong?
Found it. The installer is just confusing. For other newbies, here's what i learned:
Start the installer and you see:
Select Products to Upgrade....Connector Python....
Cancel that, and you see
List of products already installed
Note that Server 8.0 is not there. Click "Add" on the right. And that's it!
I have already installed the MySQL workbench before.
Now I want to install the MySQL Server to my local, I download the MySQL Installer 8.0.17 msi file in dev.mysql.com .
But open the msi file always show upgrading products , not adding products.
How to adding MySQL Server to Windows 10 instead of upgrade?
You can simply use a virtual machine to install your different MySQL version.
If you don't wish to go with a Virtual machine then you need to install wamp, xampp or winmnp package.
I was facing the same issue. Where you see the upgrade and modify buttons there, on the top corner click on 'Add' button. Then select your products click on arrow and install.
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
