DTP 2024.2 failed to connect to MySQL (8.0)

in DTP

I'm doing a new installation for DTP on my local machine, after the installation of DTP 2024.2, I placed the 'mysql-connector-j-8.0.33.jar' file under the 'C:\ProgramData\Parasoft\DTP\lib\thirdparty' folder. MySQL version 8.0 is installed on the same machine. I constantly get the error message 'Unable to find a compatible JDBC driver to connect to the database.' when setting up the db connection either by creating a new dtp db, or connecting to an existing dtp db (I executed the sql script "C:\Program Files\Parasoft\DTP\grs\db\dtp\mysql\create.sql" before trying to connect to an existing dtp db) despite the connector has been placed under the correct folder. Please advise if I missed any steps:

    At first glance, it looks like all the steps are correct. However, the error message indicates that the jdbc jar file cannot be found. Please file a support issue and send a zip of the log files.

    One thing you can try before filing a support issue:
    If you did not restart DTP after copying the jdbc jar file, please restart DTP and try again.
