When using the MySQL installer, it says "Visual Studio version 2015, 2017 or 2019 must be installed".

I have installed Visual Studio 2019 and "MySQL for Visual Studio", but it still says, "the requirement is still failing".

I should point out that I installed the 32-bit version of MySQL for Visual Studio, because I couldn't find a 64-bit version. Is this relevant?

What would cause this and how do I fix it?

I had this issue, and it turned out to be because I didn't have the .NET workload installed in Visual Studio. You need to either select it on installation, or re-run the installer, select 'modify', and then check it in the list of options.

I left the default set of sub-options ticked (right hand side of screenshot) - I would guess that everything but the first two are probably unnecessary but I haven't checked.
