Description:
I am trying to install MySQL for Visual Studio on my PC (Windows 7 SP1 x64, Visual Studio Community 2017) but it fails and the log shows 'error status: 1603'
I can't identify that error code and don't know how to solve it without unistalling VS2017 (I have to use that version).
Thank you in advance.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.7 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 (with Visual Studio Community 2017).
Suggested fix:
Uninstall Visual Studio 2017 and install VS 2015, but this isn't a valid solution for me (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46158752/mysql-for-visual-studio-installation-fails-er...).
