Hello  Amuktha,

Thank you for the bug report.
I could not repeat the issue at our end using Windows Installer with 5.7.20 version.
Please download from here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

Same for me; OS = Windows 10 Enterprise, fresh installation.

Oh, and the link(https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer) of course produces the same error.

I have exactly the same problem.
Has anyone figured it out?

You can install the server manually (use the .zip version), follow the documentation online, and then use the executable to install workbench and all other components.
