Bug #51368 MySQL Workbench Unexpected Error

Description:
Exception = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException
Message = External component has thrown an exception.
FullText = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnMouseClick(MouseEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)

   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

How to repeat:
Define a server instance.
Test to see if OK.
Click "Server Administration".
Select instance just defined.
Click "OK".

It is not possible to get Server Administration to work.

Since it is not possible to use Server Administration at all, I changed the Severity from Non-Critical to Critical.

I can not repeat this on 32-bit XP. Should be something 64-bit/Windows 7 related.

Its 100% repeatable here. BTW, I finally managed to track down MySQL Administrator (version 1.2.17). Connecting to the same database (remote), everything works as I am used to (even under Windows 7 x64).

I just tested MySQL Workbench 5.2.16.OSS beta also on my Windows Vista Ultimate x32 machine. Same result:

Exception = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException
Message = External component has thrown an exception.
FullText = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

Jørgen, can you please try to start WB as follows:
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.2 OSS\MySQLWorkbench.exe" -swrendering
(-swrendering being the important part) and let us know if it helps.

OK, looks like I am getting the same "MySQL Workbench Unexptected Error" on both systems (Win 7 x64 and Vista x86. Could I be doing something wrong here?):

On Windows 7 x64:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.2 OSS\MySQLWorkbench.exe" -swrendering 

Exception = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException
Message = External component has thrown an exception.
FullText = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

On Vindows Vista x86:

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.2 OSS\MySQLWorkbench.exe" -swrendering

Exception = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException
Message = External component has thrown an exception.
FullText = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

I tried this with Vista Home Premium (32 bit) monitoring a localhost 5.0 server and couldn't repeat the problem.

Can it have something to do with the (remote) database? Here is the database I am using as a test (the application using it works OK and I can connect just fine with MySQL Administrator (version 1.2.17) on both systems):

    Server: rooftoptravel.mysql.domeneshop.no
    Database: rooftoptravel
    Username: rooftoptravel
    Password: mBppx8bu

Feel free to give it a try (its not doing anything critical at the moment).

Jørgen, unfortunately, I was unable to repeat the problem on my Win7x64 Ultimate VM (using -swrendering cause of running WB in VM) ie. I see my managed server and can move around.

Now, what *appears* to me regarding this exception, is that there is a call to unmanaged routines from managed code and we're not be able to get better view of the problem as it's CRT dependent. So I'll inform WB devs to take a look into this now.

In the meantime, you might wish to run C:\Windows\System32\psr.exe and attach resulting file describing your problem.

Verified as described using steps described by Jørgen and his server info.

Problem is fixed, from my understanding, the issue is with any server instance that was created with the New Instance wizard with SSH disabled. At least I am unable to repeat the bug after this fix.

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.17 changelog:

If a server instance was created with the New Instance wizard with SSH disabled, then the following exception occurred when attempting to administer the server instance:

Exception = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException
Message = External component has thrown an exception.
FullText = System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an
exception.
