If you’re not interested in fixing this problem yourself, see How Do I Get My Computer Fixed? for a full list of your support options, plus help with everything along the way like figuring out repair costs, getting your files off, choosing a repair service, and a lot more. If you suspect this, but you’ve already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recovery the file with a free file recovery program. Just make sure it was working properly before you deleted it (i.e., it wasn’t malicious or malformed in some way). If you’re using MySQL Installer, there are multiple ways to install the different components contained within that tool, including Developer Default, Server only, Client only, Full, and Custom. Every option will install Connector/C except Server only. If you choose Custom, make sure to pick MySQL Connector/C from the list. If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible. We rarely recommend the use of registry cleaners, but we’ve included the option here as a “last resort” attempt before the destructive step coming up next.
