Description:
To whom it ever concern within MySQL,

Unclear "Help text" in: My SQL Workbench
According to your "Help text" below:
"Installing MySQL Workbench may require administrative privileges."

My question will naturally be:
DOES IT REQUIRE, OR NOT, ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES?

Quotes of your "Help text" 3.1 under item 1.; is according to the following:

   "Important
   Installing MySQL Workbench may require administrative privileges."

PS. "may require" or "maybe/may-be logic" DOES NOT exist, in computer science.

How to repeat:
By reading the text, again, and again, and again, so to say!

Suggested fix:
Either:
it, REQUIRES ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILIGES.

Or:
it, DOES  N O T  REQUIRES ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES.
Period.

Please state, under WHICH circumstances, what is required.

Regards
Bo S

Thank you for a problem report.

The documentation has been updated.

If you are using the installer then you need administrator/power user privileges (as you do with most installations). Zip file installation does not require these privileges.
