MySQL Connector.NET-8.0.26 not uninstalling/removing

using the wizard to remove mysql connector.net wont remove it... shows this ss

please help.. I want to uninstall this

Solution

  • Okay I fixed it. This is what I did-

    completely unistalled Mysql using BCUninstaller. Deleted keys and subkeys of MySql from registry. (you can use 'find'--> ctrl+F) Reinstalled. And found the same welcome message which failed to upgrade Connector.NET-8.0.26.

    Main solution:-

    1. Opened regedit and searched for Connector-NET-8.0.26 (In my case I found it here: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\9D08D5A3CA3B01049B489CEB6FAD579C you may copy/paste and look there among the files.)
    2. Deleted the folder and reinstalled.

    It successfully upgraded the connector and I had to add rest of the components manually.
