I have downloaded the no-install portable version of Workbench. When I run the exe file (on Windows XP), nothing happens. Does it need some MySQL running? I think it's standalone, right? I have XAMPP for MySQL. Any dependency etc?
There are two prerequisite requirements need to install MySql Workbench as follows. When . Net Framework 4.0 does not exist your computer installation will be corrupted. But if Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 does not exist your computer then you will continue the installation but cannot open MySql Workbench program.
To start MySQL Workbench on Windows select Start, Programs, MySQL and then select MySQL Workbench. The MySQL Workbench version number is displayed followed by a usage message and then the options.
Even with correct ownership, MySQL might fail to start up if there is other security software running on your system that manages application access to various parts of the file system. In this case, reconfigure that software to enable mysqld to access the directories it uses during normal operation.
If it is a crash when MySQL Workbench is started, and it is a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, check that the correct MSVC runtimes are installed. Often people install the 64-bit version of them, but only the 32-bit will function.
You need to install the following in order to run the current version of MySQL Workbench:
