Description:
When I tried to install the MySQL Installer 5.7.19 for Developer Default, it shows failing requirements for MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.7: "Visual Studio version 2012, 2013, 2015, or 2017 must be installed".

However, the VS 2017 community 15.3.2 has installed in my laptop, and runs well. 

Without the detection of VS, I cannot install MySQL for Visual Studio. 

How should I solve the problem?

How to repeat:
Just run the MySQL Installer 5.7.19 on Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit), with Visual Studio Community 2017 installed in your computer, then you'll run into the problem.
