I already have XAMPP, which MySQL downloads do I need to move forward?

Hi everyone,

Just following along with the course and from what Andrew Chalkley said if you already have XAMPP you only need install the workbench.

When I wen to the download workbench page it mentioned a couple of requirements im not sure if I have or not.

Has anyone had experience with this configuration or can point me to what I need :)

You're almost certain to have the .NET framework installed, and the links are provided for the C++ and .NET package requirements.

Workbench is just a client, so if you've got a working MySQL installation, you'll be able to feed the requisite login info to it and just follow right along.
