Description:
when I tried to connect to MySQL(localhost:3306) from power BI, some issues happened as below:

Details: "error reading data from provider:" failed to load file or assembly "Renci.SshNet, Version=2016.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1cee9f8bde3db106" or one of its dependencies.Specified. The system cannot find The file specified."

MySQL version: 8.0.17(community)

Hello, I had the same error and the solution was to use the old version 6.10.7

I mean the connector's version/NET . I hope it works for you

hi, Carlos Romero, thanks for your help very much, It works now.

I suppose it depends on the different PublicKeyTokens:
mysql.data searches for Renci.SshNet with PublicKeyToken = 1cee9f8bde3db106 but the entry in the gac is PublicKeyToken = c5687fc88969c44d

Hello shawn gao,

Thank you for the report.
Marking this as duplicate of Bug #96614, please see Bug #96614.
Agree, this should have been the base bug but since I verified Bug #96614 before this and hence marking this as duplicate for now.  Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different i.e PowerBI vs Excel, the resolution is likely to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

regards,
Umesh
