Description:
The installer does not upgrade MySql 5.7 and renders my old version un-useable.

Installer I ran: "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.28.0.msi"

It hangs up on "start server" and continuously asks to wait or cancel.

After cancel I can no longer run MySQL.

Hello,

Thank you for the bug report .
I tried to reproduce your issue on Windows 10 and re-ran "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.28.0.msi" but I am not seeing any issues at my end.
