Hi lbendlin,

Thank you for your guidance. I followed your suggestion and performed a clean uninstall of all components inclusing MYSQL and Power BI also.

After reinstalling everything—including the .NET driver version 8.0.28 (64-bit)—I was able to successfully establish the MySQL server connection.

Appreciate your support!

Best regards,
Sreethar
