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 Right-click or CTRL+click on the icon-toggle/demo folder and choose Run according to these instructions and I get:
Unable to deploy the current selection; please select an application to deploy.
I ran in to the same issue. All i t took to fix it was restarting the Chrome Dev Editor.
I just installed and repaired my VS2013 to build Native Cordova App. I have also installed the latest version of NodeJS but whenever I am trying to build the Application It gives me an error. I am uploading an image for more details on error as I believe image provide more info than text.
Posting error details if error is not clear in an image
Cannot find module 'q'.
The command ""C:\Users\nnnc\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda\vs-cli" prepare --platform Android --configuration Debug --projectDir . --projectName "BlankCordovaApp1" --language "en-US"" exited with code 8. C:\Users\nnnc\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda-targets\Microsoft.MDA.targets
I have advanced a little bit more but having hard time to run the application I have to manually installed all the required module. but now whenever I am running my project I get an error of web page is not available. please look at the attached image again.
I found that running npm install from within /vs-mda/ solved all my problems.
found the fix and that Involved manually loading packages like q via node js and in the end the fix for web page is not available was that ripple has changed and now we should not add it as an extension via chrome. it should be done via node js as well as below
npm install ripple -g
but before doing that delete it from chrome if you have got it otherwise just run the command.

I'm trying to use extra modules with nodeJS and netbeans, however when I try to search for the modules on netbeans it seems to simply hangup forever.
Any idea what is going on? I already had the modules installed with npm install and command line, then I right click libraries on netbeans and the search hangs.
The installed modules are mysql & aws-sdk, and I'm using windows 7, 64 bits. Also on the Tools > Options > General > Proxy definitions, there is a "Test Connnection" button. If I click on it, I get a green check saying connection is OK.
Thanks
Check if the option which you have selected is 'No Proxy', for some reason for me it was pre-selected the option 'Use System Proxy Settings' and then when i updated it failed. Once i changed it to 'No Proxy', the update installation worked.
In Netbeans, Go into Tools-> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Node.js and see that you have configured the settings properly.
see this for more info, it is a plugin for NodeJS projects: http://timboudreau.com/blog/NetBeans_Tools_for_Node_js/read
Don't know what happened, but it just hangs on "Type Space loading (4%)" and that's it. I tried to solve problem with -clean option and with deleting .history and eclipse resources folder under plugins. I also tried with new workspace and it's still the same.
Before that I installed JVET. Don't know if it's connected with that.
Yes, it's because of VJET, see https://www.ebayopensource.org/jira/browse/VJET-57
To me it happened on a fresh installation of Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers.
Just leave it for about half an hour and it should finish successfully.
May i ask why did you install VJET? If as me to be able to debug node.js you might wanna try https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Using-Eclipse-as-Node-Applications-Debugger
