'Can't install MySQL 8 with ONLY Visual Studio 2022 installed on Windows

This is not something unexpected as Oracle/MySQL is always lagging behind the maintstream development. Any alternative way to install it on Windows with ONLY Visual Studio 2022 installed?

I refer to the "Developer Default" and/or "Full" installation option: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/windows-installation.html

I have the same issue, I am obliged to use visual studio 2019 just for connecting to the database, then develop with visual studio 2022. It's the same problem when visual studio 2019 arrived - I had the same issue, therefore the same techniques. I suggest to not miss the new performance of vs 2022, and keep an eye on the old version.

MySQL is not yet fully supported in Visual Studio 2022. (https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=105536)

Thus, I strongly recommend to stick with Visual Studio 2019 for the time being.

MySQL isn't supported for Visual Studio 2022 yet.

it's weird and frustrating, to be honest, but if you want to work with MySQL with VS22, you either need to change the Database or go back to VS19.

Works with Visual Studio 2019. You might have to use that version for a while.

So, is this a MySQL/Oracle Issue or is this a Microsoft/Visual Studio Issue? All the answers so far have been obvious:

  1. You can't work with MySql if you use Visual Studio 2022
  2. You can only use MySql with Visual Studio 2019
  3. It may be possible to use VS 2019 to make the connection and then use VS 2022 to develop in

So, Visual Studio 2022 has been out long enough for the connector to be created. Oracle must know that many developers use the latest versions of VS, and Microsoft I am sure understands that many developers use MySql.

Both companies need to understand that not everyone uses Oracle or a Microsoft Database - or Azure, however, those products seem to work just fine right out of the box.
