Unable to install MySQL on Windows 10 - Installer hangs indefinitely - mysql

I am trying to install MySQL on a Windows 10 PC. I downloaded the installer package and followed those steps
Went to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/
clicked on "MySQL Installer"
Scrolled to Generally Available(GA) Releases section
Clicked on "Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer" (mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0.msi) and it started the download.
Once the download was complete, I double clicked on the installer and it gave a usual pop-up for any installation like,"Do you want this app to make changes to your device?" after clicking on "yes" for the answer to this question, it shows "Please wait while Windows configures MySQL-Installer-community" like below screenshot.
And then it keeps showing this installation progress bar for a very long time. Like more than 7-8 hours and the installation never completes
So it seems something is wrong as I don't think MySQL installation needs this long time. I tried to restart my computer and then delete any files related to MySQL from my computer and then started the whole process of installation again. But no luck yet
Anyone has any suggestion on this or did anyone face this kind of issue before? If so, is there a fix or a work around for this?

ok. So finally this is how I resolved my issue. And I found the solution at https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=82004 . The solution to this problem is to close an open "Windows installer" (the one using 0 memory and CPU) via task manager and the installation should begin running as expected.

Alternative solution: Use an administrator command prompt to run the MySQL installer on Windows 10. Details:
(Note: if you have any problems in the following steps, you can try to restart your computer. Then restart the steps.)
Right-click the Start/Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of Windows.
Click: Windows PowerShell (Admin).
A window asks: Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Click: Yes.
Change to the directory with the MySQL installer. For example, if you downloaded the MySQL installer, type something like:
cd C:\Users\my_username\Downloads\
(Note: To save some typing, you can type a few characters, and then press the tab key, to make Windows show you various auto-completion options.)
Run the MySQL installer. Type something like the following command---make sure to include the period and backslash at the beginning---and press Enter.
.\mysql-installer-community-8.0.11.0.msi
Note: The idea of using an administrator command prompt came from John Geffe, in the link below, which was cited in the answer written by the original poster (user8425592):

Bug #82004 MySQL Installer freezes during "Please wait while Windows configures..." phase

To get past this problem I had to run the .msi installer from an the
Administrator command prompt. Hopefully this helps someone in the
future.

John Geffe: Thanks! Your note on installing as an administrator seems
to have taken care of the problem.

this did the trick for me: https://ao.ms/mysql-community-server-msi-installer-hangs-on-windows-10/
run cmd (commandline) as Administrator
cd to your location that you downloaded the .MSI to
run the “msiexec” commandline tool with option “/i” as follows:
msiexec /i [replace with file name]
example: msiexec /i mysql-installer-community-5.7.20.0.msi

Another thing that worked for me was running the installer in compatibility mode for previous version of Windows. You can try that as well.

Go to the link you provided (the first one) and try installing MySql Workbench. That is the version that is commonly used, and one that I verified works in Windows 10. Here is the link: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
Obviously, make sure you choose the right architecture, have the correct permissions to install software, and have enough space on your hard drive, or on the machine you are installing to.

Please install "Update for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package" from Microsoft Site "http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/5/6/056DCDA9-D667-4E27-8001-8A0C6971D6B1/vcredist_x64.exe"
Please look here at https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package

Yes, I also got the same problem on my Windows 10.
Followed the Powershell solution and it worked.
Just repeat the above:
Click Start on bottom left corner
Scroll down the application list until Windows Powershell
Select Windows Powershell again on sub-menu
Type in cd (to change to your .msi folder)
Type .\xxxxx.msi (this is the installer file name)
All good.

Once you install the above package run the installer again and do the steps. You will be able to install the mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0 for 64 bit windows 10

closing Windows Installer instances using 0 memory and CPU helps me to get past this problem.

For me on Window-10 machine, there was a problem with the "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi". I was not able to uninstall this and hence all my subsequent efforts to install MySQL were failing. I did the following to overcome this issue.
Re-installed "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi" Get it here and used the 'Repair' option
Installed the "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.11.0.msi"
These two things solved my problem. Hope this helps.

The reson is your antivirus didn't allow the mysql, so Disable protection(until restart),( in your task bar right side click the arrow and right click to antivirus,to select (Disable protection(until restart)).then restart your computer again install mysql installer it will work.

For this issue just run .msi file in command administration like
E:\mysql-installer-community-8.0.20.0.msi\
follow this link:
https://kb.foxitsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040660611-How-to-install-MSI-from-command-line-with-administrator

In my case, an upgrade to 5.7.29 on Windows 10 via mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.20.0.msi, the install froze "backing up the database". The log tab showed no activity for 8 minutes. I clicked on cancel, then at the "are you sure" prompt I declined to cancel, and all of a sudden the install was working again. Very strange...

I encountered the same problem, preparing but can never get started. Tried to close other installation programs with no use, but I took the inspiration and proceeded with restart the computer and it worked nicely. So, I think the issue is to get rid of everything that could be in the background running that somehow interferes the installation.

You should run the installer as an administrator but this specific installation may not provide an option for this. Some might have it but it's most likely that it's unavailable for many users. So you should run it in cmd or powershell. And don't forget to run these shells as an administrator coz that's the whole point here. Once there, navigate to the installer's location which usually is in the downloads directory and run it using this command ./name.msi
Make sure no other ongoing installation of this instance. Close it if there exists one and undo the changes made by uninstalling it from the panel. If still facing difficulties, try restarting your machine and repeat this procedure...
Have fun

I had the same Problem, A simple solution is to give access the "SYSTEM" to the msiserver...I know, this is hard to understand what I am saying....You can Simply see this Video and you will definitely find the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SdXMjXmnUk, It is a matter of just 3 minutes...

I encountered the same issue of taking too much time to install mysql community installer.I tried 3 times by cancelling the installation and restarting to perform a new installation.But had same issue. I tried 2 things
First to end all tasks associated with installation which I performed for installing mysql using Task Manager
Reinitiated the installation but didn't solved my issue.
Secondly tried to install through Windows Powershell as admin, which solved the problem.
Click on the Windows icon/start on the bottom left corner.
Right click and select the option Windows Powershell (Admin).
A pop up window will ask Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?....Click Yes.
Now cd to your downloads folder/wherever you downloaded the .msi file (For example cd C:\Users\MYPC\Downloads).
Once you reach to the folder where the .msi file is kept, run the following command.
.\mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi (Note: this is the version which I have downloaded, modify as your version).

Octave gets stuck on Busy... inside TeXmacs in Windows OS

I have TeXmacs and Octave installed, both working properly otherwise. I have also added the path to octave executable (i.e. C:\Octave\Octave-5.1.0.0\mingw64\bin) to the Windows environment variables and octave runs in cmd/PowerShell terminals and Jupyter with no hassle. However, when running Octave inside TeXmacs through Toolbar > insert > session > octave it gets stuck on Busy..., the same reaction for any other commands as well:
Octave gets stuk on Busy... inside TeXmacs.
This is my environment:
TeXmacs 1.99.9
Octave 5.1.0 (installed through Chocolatey)
Windows 10 version 1809
I would appreciate if you could help me know what is the problem and how I can solve it.
P.S. I have reported this issue in the TeXmacs repo.
#Foad. I wrote an updated Octave plugin for Texmacs. I tried it on Windows, OSX and Linux, works on the systems I have access to. If you are interested to test it, you can download the zipped archive from here https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texmacs-dev/2019-12/msg00005.html.
To install it, unzip the archive and copy the octaveX directory in the application plugins folder, alongside all the plugins that come with the standard Texmacs installation. Won’t work if installed in ~/.Texmacs/plugins. If everything goes fine, you should find a new Insert/Session/OctaveX menu (note: I changed the session name). If not, try to refresh the plugin system with the menu Tools/Update/Plugins. If you try it, please let me know, especially if you find troubles. In case I will do my best to fix them.
A fundamental prerequisite is a working octave-cli command in a operating system shell. Should be standard on Linux, may require some additional setup on Windows (environmental variables) or OSX (.bash_profile). You can find some help and more details under the menu Help/Plug-ins/OctaveX.
Concerning the error you found, as far I understand there are some issues with the standard distributed plugin: first, a .octaverc file is missing, so several variables are not initialized, in addition the Windows version calls a not existent file. Moreover the plotting functions are quite old and are not compatibile with Octave newer than version 2 (or maybe 3, anyway a quite old version).
You could try to run the command in
%TEXMACS_PATH%/plugins/octave/bin/tm_octave.bat
from the terminal to see what happens. There is a problem with this plugin and it does not work also on Mac but I do not know enough Octave to fix it. Somehow it does not manage to find the files which are in
%TEXMACS_PATH%/plugins/octave/octave
Please try to modify tm-start.m to look like
d=getenv("TEXMACS_PATH");
if (length(d) > 0)
addpath("tm:polynomial:plot")
tmrepl
endif
In windows, octave should be run using the scripts octave.bat (in the mingw64\bin directory of the octave install) or octave.vbs (in the install directory) for the GUI
You should not run octave.exe directly.

PHPstorm freezes very often

I have PHPStorm, but when I'm writing native function (for example str_poss, return, parent...) it very often freeze for about 10 seconds. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. But it happen to me on Windows7 and on Ubuntu also. Has anyone same trouble? Thanks.
PHPStorm used to "lag" for me before quite often too... but I managed to fix it in the following ways (It did take a bit of tweaking/experimenting though to get it to work! But now it is blazing fast once again!)
Here is what I did to optimize it:
1) If you are on Linux - Make sure you are using Oracle Java on your system, not Open JDK
From: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23455956-Selecting-the-JDK-version-the-IDE-will-run-under it says:
On windows: "JDK is bundled with all the product installers and it's recommended that you will use the provided JDK version unless there are any specific issues.
32-bit JDK is located in IDE_HOME\jre directory and is used by the 32-bit product executable.
To run the IDE in 64-bit mode you will need to download and install 64-bit JDK (not JRE) distribution and install it yourself. IDE will find and use it from the registry when you run the 64-bit .exe file (available only for IntelliJ IDEA right now, other products can use the .bat file to run in 64-bit mode)."
2) Disable any plugins you do not ABSOLUTELY NEED! Especially any 3rd party plugins you may have installed**
GBC from PhpStorm 7 very slow and sluggish on netbook, optimize IDE for responsiveness? also had some insties:
3) Disable language injections: File -> Settings -> Language injections. un-check as many boxes as you're comfortable with. HTML was the real killer for me.
4) Disable inspections: File -> Settings -> Inspections. uncheck as many as you don't need.
I hope this helps!
I am on a mounted VM drive and everytime I was going back to PHPStorm it freezes for 5-10 sec.
Unchecked the box "Synchronize files on frame activation", in Settings > General > Synchronization, seems to solve the issue for me.
PHPStorm 7.1 on Linux
A solution I found which drastically increased my speed without having to disable any plugins or disable inspections (because they are useful - why would you want to disable them) was to enable OpenGL.
First of all go to: path-to-phpstorm\bin\PhpStorm64.exe.vmoptions
Then add these two lines below the others:
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
-Dawt.java2d.opengl=true
This helped me to get that 'eye' logo disappear and show a green tick on 6000 line file in 3 seconds rather than 2 minutes. Amazing how much difference it made.
If you're using JetBrains Toolbox, go into the Settings beside PhpStorm and crank up the "Maximum heap size". I find about 3000 MB is good.
If you're not using Toolbox, find and open phpstorm64.vmoptions and add this line:
-Xmx3000m
It does the same thing.
I had the same problem on Ubuntu. The IDE was freezing regularly on two different PCs (Using a desktop pc at home and a laptop at work), both have as OS Ubuntu 18. The freezing time was about 1-2 minutes.
It stopped after I restart IDE with VM-option: -Dawt.ime.disabled=true

tcl/tk on mac os, Python IDLE won't start and Macport not working properly

I really need someone's help here.
Early, I was playing around with homebrew, macport and active state TCL/TK after I got the new mac pro. But somehow I accidentally deleted the tcl/tclsh folder when I was trying to delete the active state version of tcl.
Now the problem is when I'm trying to install MongoDB with Macport using:
sudo port install mongodb
It give me an error says:
so I guess I delete the wrong file..is there any way I can get it back? I tried install tcl/tk using active state package but didn't work.
Help really needed...!
Thanks
The problem seems to be that you've deleted (at least part of) the system Tcl/Tk pre-installed by Apple.* MacPorts explicitly uses Apple's Tcl (or its own, if you ask it, but not ActiveState's or Homebrew's or any other). That's why it's looking for /usr/bin/tclsh rather than just whatever tclsh is on the PATH.
If you dig inside the Mountain Lion installer package, you may be able to find and run the Tcl/Tk installer manually, but Apple makes that different (and harder) with each release. The easier thing to do is just run the installer and let it repair things for you.
* It's also possible that you first replaced parts of Apple's Tcl with another version, which you shouldn't have done, and then broke that other version. But the solution is the same.

PhpStorm is not starting up

I just downloaded PhpStorm 5 on my quite fresh ubuntu.
During the first start I installed a couple of plug-ins.
Now - after the installation of those plug-ins - PhpStorm is not starting up anymore.
No splash screen is showing up. No error gets written on the terminal:
gue#ubuntu:~$ phpstorm
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
gue#ubuntu:~$
What shall I do with that drunken sailor?
I can't find any logfiles, no configuration file/directory in my home directory.
Since I'm used to Eclipse I've no clue where to look for a trace in this IntelliJ derivate...
If you're on Windows deleting the following directory helped me:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\
Some plug-ins can cause problems and prevent IDE from starting, if it happens, you should delete the directory containing plug-in manually. Location of this directory depends on the system and product, details are available in the FAQ.
For PhpStorm on Linux it would be ~/.WebIde50/config/plugins.
This happend to me too, I had created a custom vmoptions file, and entered incorrect values. I fixed it by deleting it in ~/.WebIde50/phpstorm.vmoptions
i had the same problem , i fixed it just with removing the file C:\Users\.PhpStorm2016.2
In linux, I fixed it by deleting vmoptions file of PhpStorm and then launching it again:
mv ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/phpstorm64.vmoptions ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/__phpstorm64.vmoptions
It might be possible if openjdk is installed then phpstorm not opened.
So remove first then follow steps that given in below link.
I solve the problem same way.
wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Installing_and_running_PHPStorm_on_Ubuntu
Here is how you fix this: Rename C:\Users\USERNAME.PhpStorm2016.3 to something else (anything, like PhpStorm2016.whatever) , it will start the program if you click on the phpStorm icon, then choose to import settings, and you're good to go ;)
I am using PhpStorm2020.2.1. I referred to Configuration directory. I accessed the folder %AppData%\JetBrains\PhpStorm2020.2, renamed it just in case I may need some files in future.
Voila! I can start my PhpStorm2020.2.1 again!
I had this problem yesterday and my OS is windows 10. phpStorm suddenly did not work and when I click on it nothing happened. I just downloaded JDK from this link (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and after installation, I set the environment value in the system setting for my java directory. You can use this link to set the environment (https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10)
For me I had to remove all cache for the IDE located in:
~/.cache/JetBrains/
I have changed the VMOptions under the Help menu on MacOS and it just would not start up again. It just silently failed every time. I found the file at /Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm and ran it in the terminal, which gave me an output with the following error:
Invalid ReservedCodeCacheSize=3072M. Must be at most 2048M.
Luckily, it also gave me the path to the VMOptions file in one of the rows of the output, parseVMOptions: /Users/barnabas/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm2022.3/phpstorm.vmoptions in my case, so I could change it back to a valid configuration. Crisis averted.
Simple
Go to your task manager
end any task on php-storm
and restart the ide again
it will work
Open Terminal Linux Ubuntu 20.10
YOU#USER:~$ cd ~/.config
YOU#USER:~/.config$ ls
Obs: Locate the >>> JetBrains <<< folder, after that delete it your default app settings will disappear more it will open again
YOU#USER:~/.config$ sudo rm -rf JetBrains/
Open PHPSTORM

PhpStorm crashes on startup

I installed PhpStorm on my machine (Windows XP) at work. At first it was fine and I used it for a day or so. After the installation of (likely) an incompatible plugin, the IDE freezes on startup.
I already tried reinstalling and updating Java. I even cleared the registry of any JetBrains and PhpStorm entries and installed it again.
I've searched the JetBrains forums, but it seems the problem I have is not a common one.
Maybe one of you had the same issue?
Any hints would be much appreciated.
Try to delete application plug-ins/caches. If it doesn't help, also delete settings. See the FAQ for the directories locations on your system.
Most likely idea.log contains the exceptions from the plug-in which causes this problem. I'd recommend sending this log to the plug-in vendor.
I had a similar issue and followed #CrazyCoder's instructions (thank you!), but the error turned out to be with related to indexing.
I reopened the IDE, and hurried to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart ...
Had a different issue (Ubuntu 20.x)
My use case :
I launched phpstorm and hit "cancel" while it was automatically reloading my last project (which closed PS immediately)
Then, trying to launch it just did show the splash screen for some seconds... and nothing. (tried it several times).
It turned out the process were still somewhere, while no GUI was visible.
ps aux | grep phpstorm had several (many) results.
All those zombie processes moaning "JetBraiiiiiiins" was a quite terrifying sight to me
Solution ? Kill'em all !
pkill -f phpstorm
I met similar issue while starting my PhpStorm 7.
Then I followed CrazyCoder's instructions to delete a new-installed plug-in at ~/Library/Application Support/WebIde70 (using Mac) and it finally works...
C:\Users\username.PhpStorm2016.1\system\LocalHistory
On Linux, when running pstorm from the terminal, it may complain about:
/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /home/user/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/PhpStorm/ch-0/201.7846.90/jbr/lib/libjfxmedia.so)
Which can be fixed by adding this into ~/.bashrc:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib64
