Repeatedly, I receive the error “The Installation failed”. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/cilcuzd00vz4jpk/InstallationFailed2.jpg?dl=0. The installation appears to fail just after the ‘package validation’ phase starts.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for your interest in MySQL software.
We are aware of the problem you described.

The Connector/ODBC 5.3.6 for OSX needs UnixODBC to work.
The problem with UnixODBC is that there is no official binary 
distribution for OSX.

The immediate solution of the MySQL Connector/ODBC issue you are 
experiencing is building UnixODBC from sources (http://www.unixodbc.org/)

In the upcoming release of Connector/ODBC 5.3.7 this issue should be 
resolved. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose the date of the release prior 
to the official announcement.
Thanks for your patience.
