How to repeat:
When in a local network connect through remote desktop connection to a Windows Server 2003 running a instance of mysql 5.1.41-community MySQL Community Server (GPL). Start Mysql Workbench configure your localhost instance in the Server Administration part. Click in Server Administration.

Thank you for the problem report. Please, check with a newer version, 5.2.19, and inform about the results.

Tested with version 5.2.20 and still cannot start server administration through workbench.

Alexandre,
From the output you pasted I can assume that the server instance profile may not be valid. Please check start command in the the server instance profile editor. It is on 'System Profile' tab.

Ok,
I put a configuration on 'System Profile' tab and it opened server administration.
Thanks.
