Description:
Unexplainable crash when workbench attempts to load.

Tried to "run as administrator" with exact same results.

How to repeat:
Open workbench

Hi Luke,

did you install version .28 over a previous release or was it a first time install?
can you please try to launch WB using the cmd-line parameter -swrendering to see if it prevents the crash?
thanks in advance

I installed this over a previous version.  I cannot remember exactly what version I had previously, but it was not very old (1-3 months).

I modified the launch shortcut to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE\MySQLWorkbench.exe" -swrendering

This seems to have fixed the crash.
