MySql 5.7 installer fails to detect VS 2013 redistributable

Question

Trying to install the latest version of MySQL Server - 5.7.19 - on a clean Windows server machine using the MySql installer MSI package.

On first attempt it told me

Answer 1

I had a same issue, I tried multiple times, even removed multiple version of the Visual Studio Redistribute 2013, but MySql V5.7 didn't get install. I tried both x86 and 64 bit, but result was same.

Solution: I have downloaded MySql Version 5.6 instead of 5.7, then its gets installed like a charm.

Note:

Seems like there must be some issue with the MySql V 5.7 installer.
