MySQL for Windows 10 64-bit Download: A Workaround Solution

As a hMailServer user, I've encountered an issue that may affect others running Windows 10 Pro version 1809 with a 64-bit operating system and MySQL Server. After researching and piecing together a solution, I'd like to share my findings and potential workaround for those facing similar issues.

Initially, I thought hMailServer would be able to use a 64-bit MySQL by using the right MySQL Client version. However, after attempting various solutions, it appears that this may not be possible with Windows 10 Pro version 1809. In fact, users may be limited to only using MySQL Server version 8.0.13.

I reported this issue on the MySQL (Oracle) Bug Report website and received a quick response when initially submitting my bug report. However, after providing more information and showing that my system is compatible with both 64-bit operating systems and processors, I've yet to receive a response from the Bug Report team.

The problem seems to be related to the Windows 10 Pro version 1809 operating system, as it worked seamlessly on a different computer running Windows 10 Pro version 1803. On this alternate machine, I was able to install MySQL Server version 5.7.24 as a 32-bit version, but MySQL Server version 6.0.13 was not available for installation.

When attempting to reinstall MySQL Server with the current version 8.0.13 on my Windows 10 Pro Version 1809 system, only a 64-bit version was available. This led me to believe that the installer package is limited to installing either the 32-bit or 64-bit MySQL Server versions, but not both.

In conclusion, if you're experiencing issues with hMailServer and MySQL Server on Windows 10 Pro version 1809, be aware that you may be limited to using only MySQL Server version 8.0.13 as a 64-bit installation. I've provided a potential workaround solution, which involves identifying the root cause of the issue and exploring alternative solutions.

For those seeking more information or assistance with this topic, please feel free to reply to this article or visit the MySQL (Oracle) Bug Report website. I hope that by sharing my experience, others can benefit from a similar workaround solution.
