安装过程其实挺简单，基本上下一步下一步，百度一大把

本文重点讲解安装过程中报错 This application requires Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable. Please install the Redistributable then run this installer again. 的解决办法，

错误信息大致如下：

1: Action 10:59:21: INSTALL.
1: 1: MySQL Server 5.7 2: {F08E9C75-A42E-4962-8760-4CBD9CF35D7A}
1: Action 10:59:21: FindRelatedProducts. Searching for related applications

网上找答案，国内相关问题解答真是少的一笔，一堆链接全是国外站点，最终还是在程序员bug解决圣地 stackoverflow 找到解决方案。地址如下：

问题原因大体是mysql自动安装的Visual C++ Redistributable 路径不对或者即使是x64的mysql识别的也是x86的安装路径，所以解决方案是从微软手动下载 Visual C++ Redistributable安装 ，简体中文微软官方下载路径为：https://www.microsoft.com/zh-CN/download/details.aspx?id=40784 ，点击下载按钮并将vcredist_x64和vcredist_86都下载下来，先安装vcredist_x64后尝试重新安装mysql 5.7.20 ，假如依然报错，然后安装vcredist_x86后再次安装mysql 问题解决。
