Why MySQL server is not installing?

Once the installer has completed, if the original attempt to install MySQL has failed, go to your Start Menu and look for an application called "MySQL installer". When you run the Application, you may be able to choose your configuration. If not, cancel the installer and proceed to the next step.

I've found this workaround at MySQL Forums that worked for me:

  1. Run the installer
  2. When the wizard pops, exclude "Server Data Files" (Red "X" on the drive)
  3. The wizard will install the server
  4. Click the "Reconfigure" link
  5. Finish server configuration.
