Missing files from mysql odbc driver installer I'm trying to install the latest (5.2.7) version of the MySQL ODBC driver on Windows server 2008 R2, but when starting the installation, I get the following error:



MySQL Workbench installs fine and works well. I just need to connect to MySQL from my windows desktop application to import some data.

Note. I've installed Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable and rebooted, the error remains.
Old, but for those searching, as me recently ;) Part of documentation section 4.1:


  Make sure the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio is installed. 
  • Connector/ODBC 8.0.14 or higher: VC++ Runtime 2015 or VC++ Runtime 2017 
  • Connector/ODBC 8.0.11 to 8.0.13: VC++ Runtime 2015 
  • Connector/ODBC 5.3: VC++ Runtime 2013  
  Use the version of the package that matches the system type of your Connector/ODBC driver: use the
  64-bit version (marked by “x64” in the package's title and filename) if you are running a 64-bit driver, and
  use the 32-bit version (marked by “x86” in the package's title and filename) if you are running a 32-bit
  driver.
