Re: Connecting to MySQL

Anonymous · ‎05-23-2022

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

@Anonymous , download and install 'Connector/NET 8.0.29. Hope you are installing it. It should work. Make sure no windows update is pending.
