The very first one should be just the server, I believe. – sab669 Sep 09 '15 at 17:43

No minimal installation is available from MySQL's site. They used to have an essentials version, but it's unavailable for versions >5.1.
One solution to your case is to create your own installation - it's not very complicated. The process (in general) is to include bin,data,lib, and share folders from a clean installation, run mysqld --install, and copy your my.ini file (you may need to tweak with its data folder). This can give sometimes you an installation size of about 5 MB.
Another solution will be to use MariaDB as a MySQL alternative - their MSI is about 80 MB.

there are smaller versions, about 32.1MB it only allows you just to install the base server and configure the instance, you can use things like NAVICAT to manage it, have been using it for a lot of my .NET projects and it has been working very well
you can get it from https://filehippo.com/download_mysql/

For them that want using this way: After installation run `C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe` as administrator to start the server. Also, to or run it as a service see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/28642612/5318303) and my comment below it. – Mir-Ismaili Sep 22 '18 at 03:20
