Description:
New full install of mysql-installer-community-5.6.16.0 fails to recognize new version of Visual studio tools for office 2010 runtime 64 Bit. Unable to move beyond requirements to install.

MS Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime version 10.0.40303 pre existing from Windows update.

Removing  current version and using the installer included with Community for runtime version 10.0.3119 does not correct the problem.

How to repeat:
Removed all requirements and downloaded new installer. 

Suggested fix:
Unknown. Removing registry entries for previous runtime versions did not correct.

I am having the same problem.

Please fix this ASAP, as this is critical to the running of our radio station.

I am having the same problem but with mysql-installer-community-5.6.22.0
I am using Windows 7 and Office 2010.
The installer lists as pendency the Mysql for visual studio 1.2.3 (that should be included in the installer)
If I download it and install manualy the MySQL won´t be listed in ODBC avaliable drivers.
The list of softwares for uninstall after that is MySQL server (64), MySQLfor VS (32) and the connector ODBC (64).

Did you get to solve this on your computer?

thanks!

I had to do the full installation of Visual Studio Pro. That isn't economical for everyone though. The same version and installs worked fine on a Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. The Win7 Enterprise x64 was also upgraded from Win7 pro x64. I had other issues with applications failing to install after doing this upgrade, so I kind of attributed many things to that. Sorry I can't give you anything more concrete.

Hello John Rourke,

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried with latest versions of MySQL 5.6.26, VS 2013 and MySQL Visual Studio integration 1.2.3/4 as well and it worked without any issues. 
Could you please list out exact steps you tried out at your end, this would help us to reproduce the issue at our end.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
