Description:
Hi,

I'm trying to install MySQL 5.6, i've downloaded the latest installer (5.6.20) and tried installing - the installer crashes right after it starts saying "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.", no error report or nothing..
tried running from cmd as admin, tried earlier versions, restarting the computer, nothing works =\

any ideas?

tnx!

How to repeat:
try to run the installer.
