MySqlConnector 6.9.9 for VS2008 (framework 3.5)

Question

I just downloaded the latest version of MySqlConnector ( https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/ ), which is currently version 6.9.9.

The previous version is 6.9.8, which I could use in Visual Studio 2008 with the 3.5 framework. But now the download contains only assemblies for v4.0 and v4.5.

Usually I just update the link to mysql.data.dll in my project, but now I can only change it to version v4 / 4.5, which are obviously invalid in combination with the V3.5 project.

Can someone tell me where to find or how to download assembly v3.5 for version 6.9.9? Or is this V6.9.8 just the latest version for the 3.5 framework? (although I cannot find this information anywhere)

By the way: if this is not the right place for the request, indicate the correct community.

According to the documentation on the MySQL website:

Starting with version 6.7, Connector / Net will no longer include MySQL Integration for Visual Studio. This functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio, available through the MySQL Installer for Windows.

MySQL Installer for Windows is available for download at:
