Happens every time.

Thank you for the bug report. Doing some search some packages have presented the same behavior and the cause could be:

"This behavior occurs because the Temp folder is encrypted by using the Encrypted File System."

Pleaae verify if you have that issue or search for a Microsoft Support article about. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the feedback.

I close the report as not a bug, because this is not MySQL bug.
