Bug #17914	Workbench does not run if not installed to C:\Program Files\MySQL
Submitted:	4 Mar 2006 7:47	Modified:	12 Apr 2006 8:27
Reporter:	Chris Testroet	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench Preview	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.0.5 Beta	OS:	Windows (Windows 2000 Pro SP4)
Assigned to:	Mike Lischke	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Fails to startup with the following error:

The runtime environment (GRT) could not be initialized.
Please check your installation then try to restart the tool.

Error details:
Workbench.initWorkbench :The function did not return an object. Error Nr. 10003

Shell output:
MySQL Generic Runtime Environment 2.0.12

Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' to exit the shell.
-= Lua Shell initialized =-
 Error while loading struct definitions (10001).

Registered 1 Workbench module.

How to repeat:
Install to any directory other than the default "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench"

Attempt to launch program by clicking icon placed in start menu.

I installed to several different locations, all with the same error message.

Suggested fix:
Unknown, but I would imagine that the path is likely hard coded somewhere?

Does not start on my Win2K Server system, even when installed to default location - I:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 1.0. (Yes, my system drive is I:\, not C:\.) Error message is: Failed to Initialise.

This is true for both the MSI and the No-install/zip versions.

Set status to Verified, updated Synopsis.
