This means that MySQL needs .NET Framework 4.0 to continue the installation, so let's install it
Open Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (standalone installer) from Official Microsoft Download Center with a browser , click Download, you can download it smoothly, and install it directly after downloading
2. Select the installation type
- "Developer Default": Contains other components of MySQL, such as MySQL Workbench, MySQL for Excel, etc.
- "Server only": Only install the MySQL database server. (will also include the client's command line program)
- "Custom": You can specify the installation location, etc. Otherwise, install it to the C drive.
Here I choose: "Custom", then click "Next"
3. Select the service to install
Install the server and connector here
Then select it => click on "Advanced Options"
4. Select the installation location
Change it to your own path, here I changed it to:
Click "OK" => "Next"

After installation:
