MySQL 5.7.19 not installing. Giving same error

Viewed 34434

I have been trying to install MYSQL 5.7.19 but it gives me the following error while installing the "MYSQL SERVER 5.7.19" although the rest of the things are installed perfectly.

1: Action 14:02:10: INSTALL. 
1: 1: MySQL Server 5.7 2: {EC09D203-422B-4C9F-B623-230EF57EE709}

1: This application requires Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable. Please install the Redistributable then run this installer again.
1: 1: MySQL Server 5.7 2: {EC09D203-422B-4C9F-B623-230EF57EE709} 3: 3 
1: The action 'Install' for product 'MySQL Server 5.7.19' failed.

After this, I installed the "VISUAL C++ Redistributable 2013" as I could not find the "Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable". First thing I want to ask is are these two the same? If not then where to find the "Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable". After installing the "VISUAL C++ Redistributable 2013", I still get the same error. Another thing is, if I don't install 'MySQL Server 5.7.19' and let it fail, will my MySQL not work properly?
