Answer 1

Since I am on Win 7 64-bit, I only installed the 64-bit (x64) version of Visual Studio 2013, and got this error.

How I was able to get past this was:

1) Uninstalling MySQL Workbench, and everything else, except for the MySQL Installer.

2) Installing the 32-bit (x86) version of Visual Studio 2013 (in addition to the 64-bit version)

3) Adding MySQL Workbench, and the other connectors/utilities I wanted.

I'm not sure whether you need both 32-bit or 64-bit, but having both worked for me...
