Question

Visual Studio 2015; Windows 10;

In the Data Source Configuration Wizard, trying to add a table from a MySQL install on the network. I get up to this step

Answer 1

I solved this issue.

1. Remove your existing Mysql for visual studio and MySql Connector by going to programs and features in control Panel.
2. Close Visual Studio
3. Download Mysql for visual Studio 1.2.6 Click here
4. Install it before installing mysql connector
5. Download mySql Connector 6.9.8 Click here
6. Install MySql connector.
7. Start visual Studio

This should work.
