Second failure from the Server 2019 test. The previous fix worked - msiexec went from exit 1639 (ERROR_INVALID_COMMAND_LINE, which is why it printed its usage dialog) to exit 1603 (ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE), so the command line parses now and the MSI itself is failing. It failed in 1.1 seconds. An MSI that dies that fast has not begun installing; it has failed a launch condition. MySQL 8.4 requires the Visual C++ redistributable and a bare Windows Server does not ship it - the same runtime mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe import, which was visible when their DLL dependencies were trimmed and went unnoticed. Stage 0 now installs VC_redist.x64.exe from the bundle before touching MySQL, skipping it when vcruntime140.dll is already present, and fails with a sentence naming the requirement if the redistributable is absent from the bundle altogether. vcredist\ is an optional locked payload. msiexec also gets /l*v now. A bare 1603 names neither the failing action nor the reason, and it is the most common MySQL install failure - diagnosing this one took a launch-condition inference rather than a log. The MSI log lands beside the installer's own in ProgramData, so the next failure is readable instead of guessed at.
