MySQL Installer Release Notes
In previous versions of MySQL Installer, the full MySQL Server bundle
included MySQL connectors. New bundles no longer contain the
connectors to install using MySQL Installer. MySQL connectors now are
installed using MSIEXEC directly.
Other aspects affected by this change are:
The Developer Default setup type (and the
MySQLInstallerConsole.exe equivalent) is
removed.
The Client only setup type excludes MySQL
connectors.
The Full setup type excludes MySQL
connectors.
Archived versions of MySQL connections (up to version 8.0.33)
are still installed, modified, and removed with MySQL Installer using the
Custom setup type. To install new MySQL
connectors, visit https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.

MySQL Installer now prohibits deselecting all subordinate parts of a main feature if the MySQL product being installed or modified requires the feature. At least one subordinate part must remain selected. (Bug #28268469)
MySQL Workbench was unable to modify the my.ini
file as expected. By default, MySQL Installer restricts write-access of the
file it creates to all but the Administrators group. To access
the file, adjust the user permissions as required or run
MySQL Workbench as administrator.
