When I am trying to get data from MySQL database, I receive a message 'This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used'. When I click on Learn more, it takes me to a download page to download 'Connector/NET 8.0.29'. I download, close the Power BI Desktop and re-open, try to connect and receive the same message.
Anyone else had this issue and know how to resolve it please?
Thank you
Thank you for your reply.
I actually managed to get in touch with Microsoft who advised to uninstall the latest version and instead use Connector/NET 8.0.29.
Working fine now.
Thanks
The actual solution is to downgrade to 8.0.28 ( NOT .29)
MySQL 8.0.29 introduces a bug which prevents use of the Connector software-https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=107316
