How to repeat:
Uninstall MySQL Workbench and all related files for all accounts on the computer.

Reinstall the App and same error appears. (System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): Un composant externe a levé une exception.)

Suggested fix:
Launch workbench as administrator on the faulty account. I don't know why it is needed and it is not normal.
