I had some issues while installing MySQL the first time and it threw up some errors. When I tried to uninstall and reinstall I am unable to uninstall the MySQL Installer. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?
OS : Windows 7 (32 BIT)
I know this answer is a bit too late, but I've encountered the same problem, so I hope it could help others.
Steps:
Find the version of installed MySQL installer (I could not find specific version, so I used the installation date and downloaded the corresponding version in MySQL archived downloads page) and download it.
Run it and choose to uninstall all the components. The installer itself will still be installed.
Right click on the downloaded installation file (i.e. mysql-installer-web-community-5.7.17.0.msi) and choose "Uninstall".
did you try to uninstall MySQL Installer in Safe Mode?
If you don't know how to boot in Safe Mode follow these steps :
1- Start your computer
2- Press on the F8 key during all the time on booting
3- Safe Mode menu will appear and chose Safe Mode...
Then, go in your Control panel of windows and try to uninstall MySQL.
I think the problem is because MySQL is starting automatically when you log into windows. So, MySQL service is always running and when a service is running you can't uninstall it..
Hope it's help,

I can't install MySql, every it shows that "MySql didn't find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation
MySql-download problem
if you are using Web community edition, try with the offline version and install it. In case of issue persist after download disconnect your internet. it should work.
I had to uninstall the previously installed versions. I had some kind of network problem so when I installed it for the first time, the installation wasn't complete. And I tried to install it again.
I am trying to install MySQL 8.0.23 version from the download page. I ran the .msi file several times and every time, I got the error "mysql installer did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation windows". I tried to find a solution online for more than an hour and I could not get the resolution to problem. I even ran it through CMD using admin privileges and still no use. I am installing on a laptop with the following configuration.
Windows 10, 64Bit with 16GB RAM, i7 Hexacore, 1TB SSD.
Can someone please help?
I suspect there is currently a server issue or something on Oracle/MySQL's end, I have tried the 8.0.22 and 5.7.33 Web installers and neither of them are able to find the list of packages to install.
One solution is to download the larger offline installer.
First you must uninstall the MySQL Web Installer, this can be done by opening Apps & Features, finding MySQL Installer - Community and clicking Uninstall.
Then from the MySQL Downloads page, download the larger 400MB MSI installer, once launched you should see a list of Available Products to choose from
Uninstalling the "MySQL Installer - Community" and redownloading and installing the full installer ~422MB from Downloads page worked for me.
After wasting so much time, I find the solution to install MySQL 8 on Windows x64 (64-bit) system.
Run the msi installer
Next (Even it wouldn't work)
Go to below path instead
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Product Cache
Right click -> Install
mysql-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-java-gpl-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-net-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-32bit.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-documents-8.0.23.msi
mysql-examples-8.0.23.msi
mysql-router-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-shell-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-workbench-community-8.0.23-winx64.msi
If nothhing else works, click on Looking for Previous GA versions? and downloaded the one with 500 ~ MB and that did the job for me.
I had the same issues and tried the solutions above which none worked for me.
I did the following and it worked:
In Add/Remove programs from the control panel uninstall all MySQL entries.
Delete all MySQL folders from C:\Program Files\MySQL
Make a restart to your computer
Reinstall using the large MSI installer (more than 400MB)
I tried a lot of steps. Uninstalling and installing it again for current version 8.0.23.
Following steps fixed the below error for me:
No Packages error MySQL did not find packages in the current bundle
suitable for Installation No Compatible servers were found.
Step 1: At first, uninstall and remove MySQL. That includes, uninstalling completely and removing all the remaining MySQL folders from the system.
Step2: Restart the system. Go to the official MySQL website Downloads section. On reaching, install the 2nd MySQL version (the larger one) as shown in the tutorial.
mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi
After downloading, under Setup Type, you need to choose Developer Default and keep all other steps similar.
Same problem here.
I try on Windows 10 Home edition.
I also try with version 8.0.22: same error.
EDIT 1 18/01/21 : also with large MSI installer (more than 400MB)
EDIT 2 19/01/21 : The problem has fixed. This was probably a problem on the mysql download servers.
The solution in my case was uninstalling MySql Workbench and the installer and then running the installer msi from scratch!
Delete the (mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one and download the (mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one. If still not working, right click uninstall, and then right click install again. Worked for me.
I used the bigger download package, mysql-installer-community-8.0.30.0 with 450M. Then I see below image along the way, clicking "Add", then picked the workbench, then green button appeared to move to the right pane, then "execute". Workbench is then installed
Awhile back I set up mysqlserver to use briefly in a class. This was some time ago. Now I suspect my installation has been corrupted somehow and I would like to just completely uninstall it and start over. However, when I run the install package again, I'm not presented with an uninstall option. Just options to update. I tried using windows uninstaller but noticed that some parts remained.
Thank you for your help
I am trying to install MySQL v.5.7.16 along with the Workbench and Connectors.
All installation videos/tutorials show a Product Configuration step during installation. However, when I use the installer I never receive a Production Configuration step. I show a screenshot below. The Product Configuration should appear below the Installation step in the blue left-hand side menu as shown in the second picture.
I went through the same problem as well. What I did to fix it was simple:
Reopening the file, "MySQL Installer.exe"
You'll see the list of product you've installed. At the column "Quick Action," you'll see a word, "Reconfigure."
Hit it! Done!
Steps:
Uninstall MySQL products from your machine.
Delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL" folder.
Go to "https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html".
There are two options for "Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer", choose "(mysql-installer-community-8.0.22.0.msi)" version, instead of "(mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.22.0.msi)". The community installer is an offline installer, while web-community is an online installer.
Had the same issue. This worked well for me.
open the installer again from the start menu and click reconfigure.
I found reconfigure option for 3 of the installed items.
I successfully installed the SQL Community Server installer for 5.6.34. I made no changes to my firewall, etc.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.6.html
MySQL may have a problem with the latest 5.7 installer, or I had a corrupted install that mostly worked but would not configure.
A few lessons learned:
The Product Configuration should appear as an option immediately
after selecting to install a specific version of SQL Server (x86 or x64) in the SQL Installer UI.
If anyone else has this problem, I suggest uninstalling the installer the first time you see this problem.
I found the following steps helpful:
relaunch your MySQL installer,
go to "my server" and reconfigure it,
set the root password
.. and it's done!
I got a community server version of MySQL5.6 for windows7 32 bit.
and also downloaded windows installer for the same windows version.
Everything was prepared correctly.
I saw on a blog giving me a step-by-step manual for installing MySQL 5.6 on winodws7 32bit.
I did the instruction accordingly and it always stops processing in the phrase of starting service. I completely don't know what the problem is.
I googled it for like three hours and got nothing relevant to this problem.
It never processes any further without any kind of alerts, no matter how much I wait.
Please help me out.
My OS
Windows7 Ultimate K 32bit, Service Pack1
TURN OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
This was one of the only threads I could find on this issue and the current answers did not cut the mustard for me.
MySQL 5.6.21, both x86 and x64, did not want to get past "Starting Server" and would give me the "MySQL install taking longer than expected" message.
I tried all of the registry cleaner, folder deletions, etc to no avail.
I am running Windows 7 x64 and I finally decided to check the event viewer to find this:
0x80070422 turns out to be some unspecified firewall error and boom, it struck me like lightning.
I hope this post helps future visitors!
Have you installed other version of MySQL before？ I have experienced this case ,but I installed MySQL5.5 and uninstalled it. I solved it by clearing regedit and deleting the folder of MySQL in the directory（C:\ProgramData.This directory is hidden by default in Windows.）,then reinstalled it.
Follow this link http://tadeparti.com/pages/?page_id=808.
And do remember to delete everything under the C:\program files\mysql folder, including the odbc stuff if you have.
