Power BI Desktop - Unable to Connect

Details: "MySQL: We were unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient'.
<br>This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 32-bit (x86) version of, at minimum, 'MySQL Connector/Net': https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=278885"
