Suggested fix:
File : \Source\MySql.Data.Entity\ProviderServices.cs
Line : 188

  double version = 5.0;
             culture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
             try
             {
               version= Double.Parse(connection.ServerVersion.Substring(0, 3),CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
             }

             catch (FormatException e) { 
             
             }

Confirmed. I looked for solution for several hours and this report helped me

I worked in ru-RU windows locale, and Connector throws this error

I switched regional settings on en-US and this resolved this issue

This should be defenately fixed.
User shouldn't change his locale to resolve this issue

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

This bug is a duplicate of bug #61901.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
