MySql Workbench installer requires Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package to be installed, but it already is installed

Question

I\'ve looked everywhere online, but it doesn\'t look like anyone has been able to resolve this issue.

When I download and try to install MySql Workbench, I get prompted

Answer 1

If you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) or (x86), please uninstall them both and run again the MySql Workbench installer.

After the installation is done, install back Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable packages.
