mysql server 5.7配置文件,MySQL Server 5.7安装在“写入配置文件”中失败。

I'm trying to install MySQL Server 5.7.7 on Windows Server 2008 machine. It has failed several times and I tried uninstalling the whole thing and try the installation again. I tried installing one component at a time and it worked for all the components (Workbench, connectors,..etc.) except for the MySQL Server itself.

I'm receiving error at the step "Writing configuration file", the log shows the error details below:

Beginning configuration step: Writing configuration file

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini'.

Ended configuration step: Writing configuration file

解决方案

i had the same problem. to solve it, i simply created the "MySQL Server 5.7" folder in "C:\ProgramData\MySQL" then clicked Retry in the installer

i've had bad experiences with MySQL installers in the past. really surprised it's not smart enough (or too lazy?) to create the sub folders before trying to write the ini file.

hope that helps!
