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!
