Bug #73862	Python error after installing 6.2.x versions
Submitted:	9 Sep 2014 13:58	Modified:	23 Sep 2014 9:53
Reporter:	Scott DiNucci	Email Updates:
Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	6.2.1	OS:	Windows (Windows 8.1 64-bit)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Installing the 6.2.x versions of Mysql Workbench on a Windows 8.1 64bit OS causes a python.exe error. The exact python.exe error message is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."  This occurs whether it is an upgrade or fresh install.

How to repeat:
Install either 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 on Winds 8.1 64bit

Do you have Python installed?

I have not installed python separately.   The only python.exe file installed on the workstation is installed in the Workbench installation folder.

I think that this MS link may help to provide a solution:

(But WB should really try to avoid such external dependencies IMO. It is quite simple, really).

Workbench doesn't require python to be installed, it is provided in our packages. 

Have you tried the noinstall version of the 6.2.2 Workbench package? What about WB 6.1.7?

WB 6.1.7 installs and works correctly.
WB 6.2.1 64Bit and 32BIT versions do not install correctly (python.exe error) nor do they run.
WB 6.2.2 64Bit and 32BIT versions do not install correctly (python.exe error) nor do they run.
WB 6.2.2 64Bit and 32BIT noinstall versions do not run.

Do you have the MSVCR 2013 redistributables installed?

I had the 32 bit version installed.  Once the 64 bit version was installed, the Workbench installation was able to complete successfully and I was able to run the application.

Thank for the feedback.

I tried to repeat this issue on couple of boxes and not able to repeat.

I am facing this issue for quite some time.
And I have replicated n number of times.
I have already installed python 3.7.3. While i am installing mysql workbench6.2.5, i got the same error.

Click on ok in the dialog closes the pop up and finishes the workbench installation. Then the workbench haven't open.

Later,
I decided to uninstall python and try the installation of workbench and do the same. Still the issue persists.

Experienced this exact error installing mysql-workbench-community-6.2.5-winx64.msi on Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. I already had Python 2.7 installed at C:\Python27 as part of ESRI ArcGIS, and a separate install of Python 3.3 at C:\Python33.

Like others, I separately installed Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable, and the installation completed with no errors this time. Program runs normally after install as well.
