Link to MySQL Using 8.0.33 Connector
Guys, I am still getting the error "This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can used." The link takes you to a web page to download the MYSQL Connector...
Hi
Anyone out their who has come across this issue with any help to resolve would be welcome.
I think this bit from the release notes for the connector explains a few things ( from here )
Connector/NET no longer provides within the install and no-install bundles any third-party libraries that the connector does not build internally. Application developers must now ensure the availability of following libraries at run time. For applications using OCI Authentication and SSL Certificates validation: Portable.BouncyCastle (see https://www.nuget.org/packages/Portable.BouncyCastle)Given that Power BI appears to require these connector assemblies to be in the Global Assembly Cache, I am not sure how 8.0.33 onwards can be used with Power BI if users would have to manually add these things themselves
