Bug #79800	Trying to install MySQL Server 5.6.21 - download failed
Submitted:	29 Dec 2015 9:50	Modified:	30 Dec 2015 5:34
Reporter:	Philip Day	Email Updates:
Status:	Not a Bug	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL for Windows: Installer	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.6.21	OS:	Windows (Win 8)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Using latest community installer 5.6.20, from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=453397

I run the installation app and chose client version only. When it gets to the download step it tries download MySQL Server 5.6.21 and fails with the error, "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found." If I click 'Show Details' below, it says "1: Download of product 'mysql-server-5.6-winx64' Download failed"

How to repeat:
Just download the latest community installer (link above), follow the steps and chose client version only. That's the only point where you have an option.

Suggested fix:
Presumably broken download link. Thanks.

Hello  Philip Day,

Thank you for the bug report.
I could not see any issue to download MySQL 5.6.20 and 5.6.28 version.

Please download MySQL latest version 
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.6.html#downloads

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

How do I choose that version? The installer app does not seem to give me a choice and goes for 5.6.21.

Please choose the version in the below link:

Thanks Chiranjeevi, the download step in the installer works at least (5.6.28 from your first link).

Now... what product do I have to install to be able to use MySQL locally e.g. with SQLyog? I followed the standard steps and it doesn't seem to lead me to settng up a local connection which I recall happened in a previous version when I set it up on my old laptop.

Any guidance on what to do next much appreciated.

Many thanks.
