I have already installed Visual Studio 2015 x64 Redistributable but still the server failed to install. What could be the reason?

I've found this workaround at MySQL Forums that worked for me:

  1. Run the installer
  2. When the wizard pops, exclude "Server Data Files" (Red "X" on the drive)
  3. The wizard will install the server
  4. Click the "Reconfigure" link
  5. Finish server configuration.
