I just installed my MySQL Workbench and it will work at startup, and I really don't know what to do with it. Error codes from the event log:

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

got the same error. found the file "_README_FOR_ZIP_PACKAGE.txt" in "mysql-workbench-community-6.2.4-winx64-noinstall.zip". the file says

MySQL Workbench needs the following prerequisites:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17113)
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784)

both are installed. and now it works. hope this information can help someone.

Answer 4

64- Win 7, 64- (x64) Visual Studio 2013 .

:

1) MySQL Workbench , MySQL Installer.

2) 32- (x86) Visual Studio 2013 ( 64- )

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

I'm not sure if you need both 32-bit and 64-bit, but both of them worked for me ...

Answer 5

I am using Windows version (x86, 64-bit), ZIP archive

(mysql-workbench-community-6.2.5-winx64-noinstall.zip)

Try installing Visual C ++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013

Hope this helps!
