Configuration stops at “Initializing Database”. How can I fix this?

Please open the my.ini configuration file that should be found in the following folder:

"C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server\my.ini"

Then, open the file and at the end, add the phrase lower_case_table_names=1 (or, if it is already there but it equals a different value, set it up to equal 1).

Finally, save the file and try installing
MySQL again.
