Bug #35897 error message after upgrading MySQL workbench OSS 5.0.12 to 5.0.17

Description:
About 3 months ago I installed MySQL workbench 5.0.12 and everything was fine so I used it for a month or so. Today 8/4/08 when started, MySQL Workbench popped out a window suggesting to upgrade to version 5.0.17; which I did without any apparent problem. Now I canot open/edit the database tables (double click in the EER diagram window or double click in the physical schemata). If I do so an error window will pop out stating "Cannot load selected plugin(.\db.mysql.editors.wbp.fe.dll::DbMysqlTableEditor)." The only choice is "OK".

To make sure it was not an installation issue, I completely removed and reinstalled Mysql Workbench from scratch....to the same results.

any idea to solve or workarount this?

How to repeat:
Create a table, then double click on it

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please provide a model project file
which shows that project, you can attach it in private if you wish. Thanks
in advance.

i could not reproduce the problem here - could you check if the file db.mysql.editors.wbp.fe.dll exists in your Workbench Application Directory?
another try would be to download the noinstall-zip package of workbench (can be found on .mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.0.html ) and unzip it into your app-Directory.

the file db.mysql.editors.wbp.fe.dll actually exists in C:\Programmi\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.0 OSS with filesize 180.224 Bytes

I downloaded the no-install package and unzip it in a different directory; however it shows the same problem. A CRC32/MD5 direcory comparison resulted in aperfect match between the 2 installations. So at least we know it's not a corrupted downlaod problem.

Thank you for the feedback. I could not to repeat too on XP, are you running
it on Vista. Thanks in advance.

nope, no Vista, I'm running winXP SP2 - fully patched. version 5.0.12 was working fine so I'm puzzled by this error message.

hello maurizio,

thanks for infos so far. whats your status regarding .net frameworks? which have you installed?
.net 2 is required for WB ... maybe there is something broken? (we've seen the weirdest error msgs in connection with .net frameworks)

as far as I can tell, .net2 works fine. apart from MySQL Wbench thre is no other sign of malfunctioning on my PC. can you suggest a way of checking my .net installation?

I am having the same problem. Fully patched clean install of Windows XP Pro SP2. AV disabled, no other .Net errors.

Please download 
ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/ScintillaNet.zip
and place the contents in the Workbench app dir, replacing the
dll already there and report if that fixes the problem. Thanks!

I've downloaded the updated Scintillanet.dll and the PROBLEM APPEARS FIXED.

Thanks for your help

As extra information, I upgraded from 5.0.16 to 5.0.17 and encountered the exact same problem. I'm also running XP Pro SP2 and the new ScintillaNet.dll file also solved the problem for me.

Unfortunately, this patch doesn't work for me. 

Workbench 5.0.16 worked very well on the same platform untill I upgraded it to 5.0.17a. The same issue was described as previous users. I had upgraded/downgraded between 5.0.17a and 5.0.16 several times. 5.0.16 always worked.

Now, I am using 5.0.16 to continue my work.

an outdated version of the file ScintillaNet.dll was packaged with 5.1.17. 5.0.18 contains the newer version of the dll

An entry has been added to the 5.0.18rc changelog:

If a table in an EER Diagram was double-clicked in an attempt to open it for editing in the Table Editor, the following error was generated:

Cannot load selected plugin(.\db.mysql.editors.wbp.fe.dll::DbMysqlTableEditor)

I am running Win XP service patch 2 and just downloaded MySql workbench (5.1.18 OSS Revision 4456). trying to add a table results in the error message db.mysql.editors.wbp.fe.dll:DbMysqlTableEditor

I downloaded the suggest dll that was mentioned in this email thread, reset my PC and still have the same issue.

Any suggestions?
