mysql installer did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation windows

Viewed 35810

I am trying to install MySQL 8.0.23 version from the download page. I ran the .msi file several times and every time, I got the error "mysql installer did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation windows". I tried to find a solution online for more than an hour and I could not get the resolution to problem. I even ran it through CMD using admin privileges and still no use. I am installing on a laptop with the following configuration.

Windows 10, 64Bit with 16GB RAM, i7 Hexacore, 1TB SSD.

Can someone please help?

I suspect there is currently a server issue or something on Oracle/MySQL's end, I have tried the 8.0.22 and 5.7.33 Web installers and neither of them are able to find the list of packages to install.

One solution is to download the larger offline installer.

First you must uninstall the MySQL Web Installer, this can be done by opening Apps & Features, finding MySQL Installer - Community and clicking Uninstall.

Then from the MySQL Downloads page, download the larger 400MB MSI installer, once launched you should see a list of Available Products to choose from

Uninstalling the "MySQL Installer - Community" and redownloading and installing the full installer ~422MB from Downloads page worked for me.

After wasting so much time, I find the solution to install MySQL 8 on Windows x64 (64-bit) system.

  1. Run the msi installer

  2. Next (Even it wouldn't work)

  3. Go to below path instead

    C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Product Cache

  4. Right click -> Install

mysql-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-java-gpl-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-net-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-32bit.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-documents-8.0.23.msi
mysql-examples-8.0.23.msi
mysql-router-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-shell-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-workbench-community-8.0.23-winx64.msi

If nothhing else works, click on Looking for Previous GA versions? and downloaded the one with 500 ~ MB and that did the job for me. enter image description here

I had the same issues and tried the solutions above which none worked for me. I did the following and it worked:

  • In Add/Remove programs from the control panel uninstall all MySQL entries.
  • Delete all MySQL folders from C:\Program Files\MySQL
  • Make a restart to your computer
  • Reinstall using the large MSI installer (more than 400MB)

I tried a lot of steps. Uninstalling and installing it again for current version 8.0.23. Following steps fixed the below error for me:

No Packages error MySQL did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for Installation No Compatible servers were found.

Step 1: At first, uninstall and remove MySQL. That includes, uninstalling completely and removing all the remaining MySQL folders from the system.

Step2: Restart the system. Go to the official MySQL website Downloads section. On reaching, install the 2nd MySQL version (the larger one) as shown in the tutorial.

mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi

After downloading, under Setup Type, you need to choose Developer Default and keep all other steps similar.

Same problem here.

I try on Windows 10 Home edition.

I also try with version 8.0.22: same error.

EDIT 1 18/01/21 : also with large MSI installer (more than 400MB)

EDIT 2 19/01/21 : The problem has fixed. This was probably a problem on the mysql download servers.

The solution in my case was uninstalling MySql Workbench and the installer and then running the installer msi from scratch!

Delete the (mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one and download the (mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one. If still not working, right click uninstall, and then right click install again. Worked for me.

I used the bigger download package, mysql-installer-community-8.0.30.0 with 450M. Then I see below image along the way, clicking "Add", then picked the workbench, then green button appeared to move to the right pane, then "execute". Workbench is then installed
