Surrendering: MP 1.10 and MySQL 5.6 just won't install and run (1 Viewer)

[Rasnell]

I don't understand which one to download? I have a constant wifi connection if that's what it means by being online, but it's only a meg or so and the other is a couple hundred meg. (I have win 7 64-bit.

see this link:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.6.html

Here is another page of instructions. Please point me to exactly what I'm installing myself from MySQL:

I don't understand which one to download?

Either would be fine.
The 1 MB installer is almost certainly just a downloader. It would enable you to select the components that you need, then it would download only those. That might save a bit of time, because you probably don't need the 282 MB worth of components in the full offline installer.

All that you need is the MySQL database server (community edition). Anything else is fluff.

As I said...provide logs and the experts jump in! Thanks mm for giving assistance!

Patch windows to the latest version - sounds like there;s a .net error.

Yep, that's a strong possibility.

After I download MYSQL separately, as explained above, then is this the next sequence of steps that I need to take (and don't really understand and will surely need more help?)

I do the Windows updates every week and have the most current version as of Sunday.

One step at a time.
The next step after downloading is to install.

OK, so here goes the next step.

I download the installer web community version as noted. It begins installing, then upgrades from 5.6.2.1 to 5.6.2.2. While following the self-install instructions, I click next and it shows the screen to check and upgrade database (see attached). The default user is root@localhost. It asks for a PW. I try to create one and it is rejected. I try to use a blank one and it is rejected. This is a fresh install. I have never been asked to create a user name or pw. I cannot advance past this screen so the installation will not complete.

What now?

After you help me past the MySQL install problem, should I do the following next since it seems to be a prereq and some think I don't have the current .net framework.

Which of these do I download for net framework and for visual c++ redistributable for visual studio 2013? see the web page to guide me: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17113

If any of the above steps work, then am I to advance to the following:

What now?

Again: Me no expert, but I would use the checkbox lower screen: "skip database upgrade and proceed"...MP's TV-Engine should create a new, own database, so you have no need to do this via MySQL installer

It begins installing, then upgrades from 5.6.2.1 to 5.6.2.2.

That's very odd for a "fresh install".

The default user is root@localhost. It asks for a PW. I try to create one and it is rejected. I try to use a blank one and it is rejected.

The way I read it, that screen is asking for a password for an existing database user.
...but how can there be an existing database or user if it is truly a fresh install.
Is it possible that you missed deleting some files?

What now?

I honestly don't know. I'm not a MySQL expert. It is quite unusual for the MP installation to go so wrong, and I've never seen the MySQL setup stage that you're having trouble with.
