Description:
I'm trying to uninstall it, but in the process's middle, the operation performs a rollback and i don't know why.

How to repeat:
go to control panel ---> Program and Features ---> Choose MySql Connector Net 6.7.4 ---> Uninstall it

Hi Ramiro,
I'm confused. Are you trying to uninstall MySQL for Visual Studio or Connector/Net 6.7?

Hi 

I'm trying uninstall both of them and i can't

Hi Ramiro,
If you used the MySQL Windows Installer you can run the msi of each product individually. We can run the uninstalling action with the verbose log so we can have more accurate information about what the problem is.

Please do the following:
From a cmd prompt window go to this path:

C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer\Product Cache

You should see the connector/net msi and the visual studio plugin too.

To uninstall:

msiexec -x MySql.VisualStudio.Plugin.msi /lvx* c:\logrepair.txt

So the last parameter is the path where the log will be created.

After that you can upload the log so we can see what is preventing the uninstalling to be completed.

hi Ramiro, 
Thanks for posting the log. There's an error related to a missing file:

CAQuietExec:  System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL for Visual Studio 1.0.2\Assemblies\v2.0\MySql.Data.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified..

Have you tried making a repair of the installation and then trying to uninstalling again? (the repair will put the missed file so then you can uninstall the product).

Hi, 

I tried to repair the installation but does not work, i don't know what can i do?, because i was thinking in reinstall windows just for fixing this bug.

what else can i do?

thanks for your kind help

Hi Ramiro,

We have a standalone new msi for this product. If you  like to try the installation with the new one. Possibly that solve the problem.

You can download it here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/

Please let us know if that works for you.

Thanks!

not works.. has the same problem

I have the same issue. Not I have uninstalled VS 2012 and VS 2012 through the time, but I can see the package depends on these which may be the actual reason the uninstaller to fail.

Updating the package doesn't work as well.

I am having same issue , i am trying to remove it but each time it just rollsback and nothing happens ..

please help as i need to upgrade 

thanx

Have exactly the same problem, anyone got a way to fix it?

1: The action 'Remove' for product 'MySQL for Visual Studio 1.1.1' failed.

I also tried to install again but it says the same versione is installed so I'm stuck, no install and no uninstall...

I'm having the same problem except that I'm using version 1.2.4. I think the problem is that I uninstalled first Visual Studio and then tried to uninstall the plugin.

Fixed the bug with the M4VS installer where having any version installed on
any Visual Studio version, and then uninstall Visual Studio first, the M4VS
plugin couldn't be uninstalled or upgraded.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The Installer could not uninstall m4vs if Visual Studio was uninstalled
first.

Thank you for the bug report.

I have Windows 11 with MySql for Visual Studio 1.2.9 installed. I uninstalled Visual Studio 2019 and installed Visual Studio 2022. Now I cannot uninstall MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.9.

Hello Wang,
are you getting a "The specified account already exists error" when attempting to uninstall MySQL for Visual Studio? If not, what error are you getting when attempting to uninstall?

Some users have found useful repairing the installation by going to "Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features", selecting "MySQL for Visual Studio" and clicking the "Repair" button. Afterwards attempt the uninstall once more.

Hi Jose,
I went to ControlPanel and uninstall MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.9.
I got an error saying "Visual Studio version 2015, 2017 or 2019 must be installed."
No matter what I do (uninstall/modify/repair), this check is always the first to come up.

Is there any way I can uninstall it after I uninstalled Visual Studio 2019?
Or is there any estimated time frame for an upgrade that can support Visual Studio 2022?
