In order to install MySQL on a Windows computer, you must first have Python 2.7 (not Python 3+) installed.

You cannot run MySQL using Python 3.

Follow this link to download Python.

I also find this requirement very problematic... specially when most of the time MySQL is not being used with .NET applications... and a clean windows server installation does not include .NET 4 but an earlier version of .NET.

anyway you can install .NET 4 with no difficulty, just download the installer from the following links:

web install: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851 standalone installaer: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22833

The MySQL installer on Windows requires .net. And it has been part of Windows since Vista...

This is separate from running MySQL or developing in another language

You don't need .NET to install MySQL on your machine. Sounds like you downloaded the wrong thing.

Whatever you tried, pick another one:

The message means the installer for MySQL requires the .NET framework to run. Therefore, you'd need to either download the .ZIP package (which would require you to manually unpackage and install the MySQL server), or, if you just need to connect to a remote database with your Java application, you'd need to download the Connector/J JDBC driver from MySQL.
