Description:
Looking for alternatives to solve http://bugs.mysql.com/74369, I attempted a Customer package install to use the MySQL for Excel plugin directly from the Application subset and when I try to select the option I get an Unhandled Exception from the MySQL Installer with the following details:
************** Exception Text **************

How to repeat:
- Uninstall any previous attempts or installs of MySQL for Excel, MS Installer.
- Install latest version of Visual Studio Tools for office 2010 64 bit from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44074.
- Download and install "MySQL for Windows Installer 5.6.21.1", Windows
Installer XML 3.6.3303.
- Choose "Custom" setup type and click Next.
- Under Available Products, drill down via Applications, MySQL for Excel, MySQL for Excel 1.3, MySQL for Excel 1.3.2 x64 (this is actually greyed out).
- Click on the greyed out reference and the error dialogue box appears.
- Click "Continue" to continue, and it takes you back to the Available Products screen.
- If I click under MySQL for Visual Studio and drill down, and mouse over on MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.3, a red cross appears with the comment "1.2.3 has failing requirements: Visual Studio must be installed." This is not the case as we have the latest version of Visual Studio. (this would be another error)
Suggested fix:
- Allow MySQL Windows Installer to install the plugin, just like the workaround does.
- Workaround: to download the specific package from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/excel/ and not use the Windows
Installer for Excel.
