[QUOTE="Rasnell, post: 1122491, member: 151323"] 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 [EMAIL]root@localhost[/EMAIL]. 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: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17113[/url] If any of the above steps work, then am I to advance to the following: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/install-fails-with-mysql-exception.126169/[/url] [/QUOTE]
