MySQL Bugs: #90295: MySQL Server won't install as new

Bug #90295	MySQL Server won't install as new
Submitted:	3 Apr 2018 22:43	Modified:	4 Apr 2018 12:55

Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.7.21	OS:	Windows (Win7 x64)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	x86

Description:
Brand new user, sorry if this is a dup report.  I was unable to get the latest server to install and instantiate a new database from scratch.  The checklist would get about halfway through and fail to complete.  I don't recall which step or what the details were.

After reading around, one of the suggestions was to install a previous version.  That particular suggestion was a workaround for a different regression, but the same method was effective in this case--once the older version was installed and the database was created, it was then possible to update to the latest version.

How to repeat:
Try to install 5.7.21 from scratch on Windows machine.  When the database is being created, it fails and will not complete the installation.

Suggested fix:
Was able to fix by installing 5.7.18, instantiating a new database, and then upgrading to 5.7.21

Hello Joshua Johnston,

Thank you for the bug report.
I could not repeat the issue at our end using upgradation from MySQL 5.7.18 to 5.7.21 version.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
