Important MySQL Notes:
If the computer already has MySQL components installed it will do the following.
· Install ODBC Connector if installed version does not match required version (3.51.30 32-bit). Multiple versions can be installed on same computer.
· If MySQL or .NET Connector is already installed it will not prompt even if version is different. However, .NET Connector version 6.4.4 is required for Spark to function properly. Manual installation of version 6.4.4 may be necessary if the wrong version is already installed. This installer can be found under the Prerequisites folder.
