Description:
If I attempt to select the Startup Variables tab when there is no MySQL Service installed, I get the error message "Access violation at address 005BD4F9 in module 'MySQLAdministrator.exe'. Read of address 0000000C."

This occurs when running MySQL Administrator both before MySQL has ever been installed as a service, or when the service was installed but was later uninstalled. As soon as the service is reinstalled, the problem goes away.

Server version is 5.1.4-nt-max.

Does not appear to be the same issue as Bug #13887.

How to repeat:
See description.

Suggested fix:
Startup Variables tab should be greyed out/inaccessible in the service isn't installed.

In addition, it might be helpful for the user to be informed that the option isn't available because there's no service installed.
