What exact version of MySQL Workbench, 5.2.x, do you use? Do you have Windows service created for MySQL server in xampp?

I use the 5.2.31 CE (Revision 7115) version of Workbench;

I create a Windows service for MySQL server in xampp (.\xampp\mysql\mysql_installservice.bat) and everything is ok! Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback.

Verified as described: if there is no MySQL service, but MySQL server is up and running WB encounters error when tries to create new server instance.

Fixed in repository.

Note: WB only supports MySQL servers installed as service under Windows, so setting up XAMPP to use a MySQL service instead of a standalone server is not a work around but a necessary prerequisite.
