MySQL Connector Issue with Power BI

Hi Vinay,

As advised, I’ve uninstalled the Microsoft Store version of Power BI and installed the recommended version from the official Microsoft link you shared. I also ensured that the MySQL Connector Net 8.0.28 is correctly installed, as per the guidance from the Fabric community.

Despite following all the steps, I’m still encountering the same issue when attempting to connect to a MySQL database in Power BI. The error indicates that additional components are required. Please find the relevant screenshots attached for your reference:

  1. Installed version of MySQL Connector 8.0.28

  2. Power BI installation (from official .exe)

  3. Error message while accessing MySQL database in Power BI

I would appreciate your further guidance on resolving this.

Best regards,
Sreethar
