title: MySQL .NET Connector 6.9.8
body: <p>I recently had to uninstall and reinstall the MySQL suite, including the connectors for MySQL. </p>
  
  <p>Apparently, the .NET connector never properly uninstalled and when I went to reinstall the connectors, the .NET connector didn't appear in the installer package for MySQL. I went through a myriad of steps to try and remove the package. </p>
  
  <p>I used the Programs and Features uninstall options, CMD msi removal options, removing every entry related to the Connectors from my registry with regedit, as well as the built in removal/repair/change tools in the MySQL msi packages.</p>
  
  <p>I finally got the program to disappear from the programs list, but when I try and install the package again it still says it's installed. I have completely ran out of all ideas as to how to remove this package.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way to essentially nuke this program from my computer? Either that or an alternative to allow me to connect C# in Visual Studio 2015 to my MySQL database?</p>
