Description:
I newly installed mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r9a-win32.msi on my computer which doesn't have a "c:\"-drive (systemdrive=h:\; windir=h:\windows; systemroot=h:\windows; ProgramFiles=H:\Programme;).
h: is an ordinary local hard drive.
When calling mysql workbench, I get one or more error messages telling me (in my language german) that there was no disc in "the" drive and I should put there one.
After those error messages, the workbench comes up and so far I could not find an error there.

How to repeat:
Install mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r9a-win32.msi on a system described above.

Suggested fix:
replace all 'c:\' by 'getenvir("systemdrive")' or anything like that.

Thank you for a problem report. Sorry, but Workbench is unsupported now. Please, wait for a new official major release.

Workbench still has problems when there is no C: drive. I.e. save failes, because it can't write a temporary file. By now Workbench is supported.
