MySQL Bugs: #106376: MySQL for Visual studio 1.2.10 setup wizard ended prematurely

Bug #106376	MySQL for Visual studio 1.2.10 setup wizard ended prematurely
Submitted:	4 Feb 2022 9:32	Modified:	8 Feb 2022 12:01
Reporter:	ofer Strichman	Email Updates:
Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Connection Handling	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.2.10	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When trying to install the connector, version 1.2.10, it installs but then rolls back and tells me that it ended prematurely. I have VS 2019, updated. 
I do not know if it is relevant, but I also have VS'22 installed. 

I hope that the solution offered in 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48512443/mysql-for-visual-studio-1-2-7-setup-wizard-en...
is not the only one because I cannot do it. 

How to repeat:
Try to install it for VS 2019.

a log file, showing the failure if upgrading from 1.2.7 to 1.2.10

update: problem solved. 
I had the 1.2.7 installed. I could not uninstall it - both from the mysql installer, and directly from the control panel. In the former case it just reported failure, and in the second case, it just did not uninstall (it rolled back the operation). 
I removed the 'oracle' directory from visual studio extensions (somewhere under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio), and this enabled me to uninstall 1.2.7, install 1.2.10 and the rest is history.
