Question

I installed MySQL workbench 8.0 in windows 7. After the installation I just clicked server status its through the error like Could not acquire management access for administration. Run-time Error: Unable to execute command chcp. Please make sure that the C:Windows\System32 directory is in your path environment variable. How can I solve this error?

Answer 1

I solved the same problem on enable the parameter "Beta : Use UTF-8 for worldwide language support" in Control Panel > Region > Administrative > Change system locale... It's disturbing because it's have nothing about the PATH environment variable. But it's work. Notice that I working on french environment and MySQL Workbench 8.0.24 version.

Answer 2

To resolve this problem on 64 bit system we have to follow two steps.

1. add environment variable path to C:\Windows\System32

2. we need chcp.com cmd file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 copy it from C:\Windows\System32 path and paste in C:\Windows\SysWOW64

   now close mysql workbench and reopen it.

Hope you got the answer.
