Changes in MySQL Installer 1.6.7 (2023-05-30)

• Functionality Added or Changed

• Bugs Fixed

Functionality Added or Changed

• In previous versions of MySQL Installer, the full MySQL Server bundle included MySQL connectors. New bundles no longer contain the connectors to install using MySQL Installer. MySQL connectors now are installed using MSIEXEC directly.

  Other aspects affected by this change are:

  • The Developer Default setup type (and the MySQLInstallerConsole.exe equivalent) is removed.

  • The Client only setup type excludes MySQL connectors.

  • The Full setup type excludes MySQL connectors.

  Archived versions of MySQL connections (up to version 8.0.33) are still installed, modified, and removed with MySQL Installer using the Custom setup type. To install new MySQL connectors, visit https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. (Bug #35397684)

• MySQL Installer now prohibits deselecting all subordinate parts of a main feature if the MySQL product being installed or modified requires the feature. At least one subordinate part must remain selected. (Bug #28268469)

Bugs Fixed

• MySQL Workbench was unable to modify the my.ini file as expected. By default, MySQL Installer restricts write-access of the file it creates to all but the Administrators group. To access the file, adjust the user permissions as required or run MySQL Workbench as administrator. (Bug #25476557)
