Hi,

 

i have downloaded and installed 8.0.16, but still it shows 8.0.17 in start menu.

 

How do i check whether it is 8.0.16 in MySQL?

 

i belive folder name is 8.0.17 but it has changed.

 

please let me know if you have any suggestion or solution for it.

Hi Nagesh,

Try uninstalling all MySQL components (if you don´t you use MySQL), then just install that connector and give it another try. It should work. I recently swipe my hard drive with a Solid States and did the same process the it worked. Please let me know how it goes. Also I can help you thru Teamviewer.

    Hi

     

    Should i uninstall entir MYSQL and reinstall it again, if so can you give me the link of 8.0.16.

     

    If i install that, will i automatically get MYSQL Workbench?

     

    Thanks in advance:)

      Hi Nagesh, it is a high-level recomendation because I do not know more about the setup.  First before uninstalling the entire program MySQL, try install this again:

      mysql-connector-net-8.0.16.msi

      it is the link to download the connector version 8.0.16. The version 17, its the one giving problems for some mates. Good luck!
