Description:
Connector/Net 6.1.3 (GA) will not install on Windows Server 2008 (Web Edition) clean installation, I ran into two problems

 (1) If version 4.0 is not installed, it fails because c:\windows\microsoft.net\v4.0.* does not exist
 (2) After I installed .NET 4.0, then this error appears.  I cannot find a solution to this.

Part (1) appears to be related to http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=55311 - the fix seems to be to use the 4.0 rather than 2.0 version of InstallUtil.exe - of course now it wont work unless 4.0 is installed.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

Thanks Trent.

Just adding, imo, important part of discussion: Problem could be in fact that FW 4.0 was installed and then removed from Add/Remove programs.

Tonci; definitely not the case here.. this is a brand new install of server 2008 installed only yesterday.  No .NET versions other than the standard 2.0 were installed before now including 3.5

I tried to install Connector/NET
Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive 6.3.4
(mysql-connector-net-6.3.4.zip) 

Operating system is windows 7 pro, at the end
of the install we see that it's doing a "Rolling back action"
, all files are deleted, installation failed.
Same problem on windows XP pro.

i tried to install 6.3.4 on windows 7 in
compatibility mode it tells me :
"Error writing to file: Mysql.Data.Entity.dll,
verify that you have access to that directory."

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error
installing this package. This may indicate a problem with
this package. The error code is 2350."

(i can install 6.2.3 with no trouble,
I tried 6.2.4 no trouble.)

Same problem here but i'm unable to find any logs at all... it just wipes clean all installed files at the very end of the installation. All frameworks installed up to 3.5

Same problem here - latest package does not install in Windows 7/32bit.

I have tried to install from command with msiexec and full logging. I will attach the log file.

      fixed bug that was causing the installer to always try and use .NET 4 even though it might not be installed (bug #56580)

Fixed in 6.3.5.  As soon as we verify this fix on Windows Server 2008 we'll push this out as a maintenance fix.  Sorry for the trouble.

An entry has been added to the 6.3.5 changelog:

MySQL Connector/NET 6.1.3 (GA) would not install on a Windows Server 2008 (Web Edition) clean installation. There were two problems:

If .NET framework version 4.0 was not installed, installation failed because c:\windows\microsoft.net\v4.0.* did not exist.

If .NET 4.0 was subsequently installed, then the following error was generated:
