Description:
Unable to download MySQL for Visual Studio using the installer

I keep trying but all it says is
1: Download of product 'mysql-visualstudio-plugin-win32' Download failed

How to repeat:
Just try to install MySQL for visual studio

Thank you for the bug report. Which package installer are you using?. Thanks.

Hi, i am also experiencing the same problem.

The installer i am using is the web based one: mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.12.2.msi

Please fix as soon as possible as i need this plugin.

mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.12.2.msi

Please check for duplicate with: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=69694 . Thanks.

Same issue here.  I have tried both installers, web installer first and then full installer.  Getting a 404 error on the installation file for MySQL for Visual Studio.

mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.12.2.msi
mysql-installer-community-5.6.12.2.msi

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling installer.  I am not sure why the full installer is downloading packages, but it did download everything successfully except this one package.

This is not a duplicate of the other bug mentioned here, that bug is about not even having the option to install this package.  I have the option, but installer cannot find files.

Can I not just get a link to the msi file so I can place it in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer\Product Cache ?  Why is there not a separate download?

Thank you.

Hi Chris, could you please share the url of the file you're having this issue?

I just tried to install the MySql for Visual Studio successfully with this installer.

Chris,

Could you please try this workaround:

1. Delete this file:

%ProgramData%\MySQL\MySQL Installer\products.xml

2. Run the installer again.

Let me know if this worked for you.

I am using the same file you indicated.

What I have done is uninstall everything and remove all MySQL directories from my machine, and now I am able to install the Visual Studio plugin without downloading it.  So I can't answer if it was the specific file you mentioned that did it.  It seems you cannot run web installer and then full installer back to back without some manual intervention.

Speaking of manual intervention, updating components and uninstalling components leaves a ton of references in the registry that should have been cleaned up.

I can reproduce this error. I tried Gabriela's solution, but the file products.xml did not exist in that directory. I also tried Chris's solution to uninstall everything mysql and remove all mysql directories, but I'm still getting this download failure. I've added screenshots showing the 404 error.

The installer I'm using I downloaded today from:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/

I'm using the mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.23.2.msi file.

The URL in the manifest was incorrect. 
A fix for this bug will be available in the next GA.

In the meanwhile, the workaround for this bug is to download a full installer bundle.

ver 5.6.13.1 , the full bundle installer stuck in visual studio for office in the loop.

follow up the oracle bug 19524613
in http://clustra.no.oracle.com/orabugs/bug.php?id=19524613
to close it.

Guys, the standalone installer for MySQL for Visual Studio is available at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/

manifest updated, downloading both editions of MySQL for Visual Studio working again

Fixed as of the MySQL Installer 1.4.0, and here's the changelog entry:

The download for MySQL for Visual Studio would fail. A workaround was to use the full installer, as opposed to the web installer.

Thank you for the bug report.
