I`ve just installed my MySQL Workbench and it crashes on start and i really dont know what to do with it. Error codes from Event Log :
Application Error
App
got same error. found "_README_FOR_ZIP_PACKAGE.txt" file in "mysql-workbench-community-6.2.4-winx64-noinstall.zip." 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)
installed both. and now, it works. hope this information can help somebody.
Since I am on Win 7 64-bit, I only installed the 64-bit (x64) version of Visual Studio 2013, and got this error.
How I was able to get past this was:
1) Uninstalling MySQL Workbench, and everything else, except for the MySQL Installer.
2) Installing the 32-bit (x86) version of Visual Studio 2013 (in addition to the 64-bit version)
3) Adding MySQL Workbench, and the other connectors/utilities I wanted.
I'm not sure whether you need both 32-bit or 64-bit, but having both worked for me...
Hi Please install the MSVC 2013 runtime redistributables from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
I use version Windows (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!
Install Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer) from this link , even if your are using 64 bit operating system. MySQL Installer is 32 bit, but will install both 32 bit and 64 bit binaries.
