I'm using Windows 7 and the latest version of MSYS2.
For my work I needed to install GMP with MSYS2.
After installing and decompressing, I had to configure the GMP folder with the ./configure command.
But the problem is that the process starts and always stops at this point.
This line is actually one of the configuration preparations where the program stops.
What is the problem and how can it be fixed?
I think I provided enough information. If more information is needed, I can provide it.
Thanks
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):

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).
I just installed a fresh copy of Fedora 24 Workstation and did a full dnf update on the entire system.
Then I installed the jProfiler rpm from the jProfiler site.
However, when I try to launch jProfiler (either from the /opt/jprofiler9/jProfiler.desktop icon or from /opt/jprofiler9/bin/jprofiler shell script), I get the following error message:
java.awt.HeadlessException
at java.awt.SplashScreen.getSplashScreen(SplashScreen.java:117)
at com.exe4j.runtime.splash.AwtSplashScreen.<init>(AwtSplashScreen.java:17)
at com.exe4j.runtime.splash.SplashEngine.setJavaSplashScreenConfig(SplashEngine.java:17)
at com.install4j.runtime.launcher.UnixLauncher.main(UnixLauncher.java:50)
I've tried setting my display using DISPLAY=0.0 or even DISPLAY=:0, but neither seem to make any difference/impact.
Any suggestions how to get this to work? I suspect it is something obvious that I am overlooking.
After a bunch of trial and error, I finally tried to install the Oracle Hotspot JRE instead of the OpenJDK JRE. I downloaded Oracle's JDK, installed it, and then configured it as the system default using:
sudo alternatives --config java
Now everything works properly with Oracle JRE.
I am trying to install Octave on OS X. When executing brew install octave I get the following error:
octave: A LaTeX distribution is required to install.
You can install MacTeX distribution from:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/
Make sure that "/usr/texbin", or the location you installed it to, is in
your PATH before proceeding.
I downloaded and installed MacTeX but it is still not working :(
How can I fix this?
If you want to avoid the MacTeX dependency you can install Octave with brew as follows:
brew install octave --without-docs
"Make sure that "/usr/texbin", or the location you installed it to, is in
your PATH before proceeding."
This message may be the hint of the answer for you.
You need to set the PATH so that the Tex could be called from anywhere in your system.
Adding the following line in the .bash_profile may fix it.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/texbin/
The reason why the texlive command does not work have also same cause on this.
I have a solaris machine configuration: SunOS indevel07 5.10 Generic_147440-15 sun4v sparc sun4v. I am trying to install expect utility on this. expect utility requires tcl to be installed. I have tried to install that too, but i am getting errors. I have downloaded the tcl-8.5.12-sol10-sparc-local.gz and expect-5.45-sol10-sparc-local.gz from sunfreeware. I have unzipped them and tried to install them like pkgadd -d pkgname. I am getting errors like:
ERROR: attribute verification of </usr/local/man/man3/Tcl_Seek.3> failed
pathname does not exist
There are lots of errors like this. I tried to troubleshoot it by googling but could not find anything about it. I am stuck with my development because of this.
Try building Tcl/Tk and Expect from the source. Here is the instruction - How to Compile Tcl. Expect download - Obtaining Expect for UNIX. That worked for me on Solaris 10 and I did not hit any serious bumps.
For those who want to install tcl please refer this URL. it has got steps to do that. URL: http://www.wellho.net/mouth/1174_Installing-Tcl-and-Expect-on-Solaris-10-a-checklist.html
