I am trying to install MYSQL Workbench but shows the error that says
Mysql workbench require the .net framework 4.5.2 to be installed.
But then when I download .net framework in my windows 8.1 it says
Microsoft .net framework is already a part of your system. You don't need to install the .net framework 4.5 redistributable.
So now please help me.
There are several ways to fix the issue:
1) Go to: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=480542
and update the MySQL INTALLER
to add Workbench 8.0
if that doesn't work
2) go to: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/source-configuration-options.html
and look at possible resources to fix the issue,
3) Go to : Visual Studio and Modify by selecting
Desktop development C++
this will allow you to update the required software.
if all of these methods fail completely uninstall Visual Studio and MySQL and continue to restart computer.
Reinstall: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=480542
good luck.
This issue MySQL workbench caused because of .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows 8. Please install .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows first and then try MySQL workbench or follow these references
Follow Reference 1 or Reference 2

I've been reading about mySQL DataSource and the ability to use mySQL with Entity Framework, but I can't really generate EF with mySQL without the use of the DataSource Dialog
How can I add mySQL Database to such dialog?
This is what I have done so far:
Installed mySQL Connector v.6.5.4
Restarted n-times my Windows 7 machine
Read all about how well mySQL Connector works on previous versions of Visual Studio
I have just read from mySQL Forums that mySQL will ship Visual Studio 2012 integration with mySQL Connector v.6.5.5
We'll be adding support for VS 2012 in Connector/NET 6.5.5 and later 6.6.x version
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,546265,564533#msg-564533
and give a link to test a trick
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/pt-br/contents/articles/10476.instalando-mysql-connector-no-visual-studio-2011-beta.aspx
and here is the vsix file if you follow the tutorial (In Portuguese)
Microsoft Visual Studio Extension for mySQL: http://cl.ly/JqXO
just download and double click...
then, you will get all to work
Using Visual Studio 2012 Professional
One clarification: Visual Studio Express DOES NOT support MySQL .NET Connector as extension.
You still may use it adding reference to MySql.Data.dll file that you may find in MySQL Connector installation folder (for me it was W:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector NET 6.5.4\Assemblies\v4.0).
After that you may use it like this:
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
...
var mycon = new MySqlConnection();
According to this page: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
"Starting with version 6.7, Connector/Net will no longer include the MySQL for Visual Studio integration. That functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio available using the MySQL Installer for Windows (see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html)."
Visual Studio 2012 is not yet supported by MySQL Connector v.6.5.4. You can't add a connection to MySQL in the Server Explorer to begin with.
According on this post, support will be added on MySQL Connector v.6.5.5
Connector/NET 6.5.5 does not support VS2012, but Connector/NEt 6.6.x does.
However Visual Studio Express editions are not supported, hence the only way to work in Entity Framework and Visual Studio Express and MySql (or other database different than SQL Server for that matter) is using code first.
It wouldn't matter if you had the MySQL driver showing as far as I can tell. I'm running VS 2012.3 and if I try to create a Data Connection in VS Server Browser, I can get as far as selecting the MySQL driver and no more. If I try typing a servername/username/password (any of the fields), the window just disappears and YES, it's only when the MySQL driver is being used so NO it's not vs (not exclusively) causing the problem. Go ahead and say that it's my environment but you'd not be able to justify that even remotely compared to the FACT of what is happening. ALL my other software/extentions/add-in/libraries work just fine. No surprise either seeing how buggy the "3 minute" Windows Installer was. Had to uninstall/reinstall a server instance to get to the configuration wizard and there is no other apparent way to configure an instance without it. I'd rather have the old setup. /rant
Downloaded and install Download MySQL for Visual Studio http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/1.1.html
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?
You need to install the following in order to run the current version of MySQL Workbench:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019
See: dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-software.html
.
Update 2020:
Unfortunately this is still happening:
Download .NET 4.0 (My machine already had it.)
Download Visual C++
As the above solution states. Download the Mysql workbench
installer.
I still don't know why, it would allow me to install without checking for dependencies. I have become accustomed to this kind of behavior when I am installing any application and to not see it is annoying. I suppose I should leave this personal opinions out of my solution but I have had to install this multiple times and have comes across some kind of dependency issue.
What works for me (workbench 64bit) is that I installed Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
here is url:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
I installed both x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe
In my case, i tried all solutions but nothing worked.
My SO is windows 7 x64, with all the Redistributable Packages (x86,x64 / 2010,2013,2015)
The problem was that i tried to install the x64 workbench, but for some reason did not work (even my SO is x64).
so, the solution was download the x86 installer from : https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
There are two prerequisite requirements need to install MySql Workbench as follows.
.Net Framework 4.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
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. Sometimes you will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 instead of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. So I recommend to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013
In Windows 10 I browsed to %APPDATA%\MySQL\Workbench\ then deleted the workbench_user_data.dat file
Doing so lost my MySqlWorkbence settings but allowed MySqlWorkbence to open.
As per the current setup on June, 2017
Here is the downloadable link for Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package : https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x64.exe
Hope this will help, who are struggling with the download link.
Note: This is with regards to MySQL Workbench 6.3.9
I have uninstalled 8.0.19 (64) and installed 8.0.18 (64 bit) and now it Opens.
it might be due to running of xampp or wampp server stop all services running and try to open mysql command line
I found I needed more than just the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.
I also needed what's at this page. It's confusing because the titles make it ambiguous as to whether you're downloading the (very heavy) Visual Studio or just Visual C++. In this case it only upgrades Visual C++, and MySQL Workbench launched after this install.
You should have these two already installed in your system:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
I did these two installations for MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE.
None of these suggestions worked for, however setting compatibility to Vista worked and now the workbench opens again.
2022 case:
My MySQL Workbench was working normally and from one moment it just didn't want to open anymore. I've lost almost half a day trying to fix it.
In folder %APPDATA%\MySQL\ I had to delete the whole folder Workbench,
instead of deleting just workbench_user_data.dat file (which didn't help)
Given that there's so little on this on the web, I'll provide my answer despite this thread being over two years old: it's probably a no-brainer but run Workbench as Administrator (doh!)
i downloaded the recommend version from Download MySQL Community Server i.e mysql-installer-community-5.6.12.0.msi for windows 7 64 bit os.
Please install the .NET framework 4. Please install the .NET framework
then run this installer.
My question is Should i really install .net 4 framework first to install mysql server? Am i proceeding in right direction
The standard installer includes MySQL Workbench. If you look at its download page, and in the pre-requisites:
To be able to install and run MySQL Workbench 5.2 your System needs to have libraries listed below installed. The listed items are provided as links to the corresponding download pages where you can fetch the necessary files.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
So, yes.
(There may be other packages that also depend on .NET. Workbench was the obvious one I know of)

Downloaded and install Download MySQL for Visual Studio http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/1.1.html
I installed MySQL connector for .Net v6.5 and it is supported by Entity Framework. When I use Visual Studio 2012 and try to add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model, I can't see MySQL. There are just Microsoft SQL Servers. It worked in VS 2010.
This question said that they are working on it - is there a conclusion?
use this mysql connector for vs 2012. once you install it then you have no such error and
mysql server shows in datasource.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.6.html
The connector .NET v6.5.4 available today does not support VS 2012. You can't add a connection to MySQL in the Server Explorer to begin with.
Support will be included in 6.5.5 as per post: MySQL forum
There is apparently some workarounds and 3rd party ways to get this working but personally I will just wait.
Just to provide an update: The 6.5 version of the connector does NOT support VS2012.
But there is a development release of 6.6 that does.
Go to the following URL and click on the tab "Development Releases" to download it:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloads
Download "MySQL.Connector.Net.6.5.4.VS2012.vsix" and install it to be able to use MySQL in Visual Studio 2012.
You might need to restart Visual Studio after installing it to see the changes.
