Download the installer here : 07001
There are two options available: (as on 31 Jan 2014,the latest version is 5.6.16)
(i) MysqL-installer-web-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 1.5MB
(ii) MysqL-installer-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 250.8MB
I personally prefer the 2nd option. This helps me to keep the .msi file as backup in my computer. I can install MysqL whenever I need to
even if I am offline.After downloading the 250 MB file,double click it to start the installation process. Now it is simple as installing any software on
windows 7.Once you are done with the installation download the official document
