Category:	MySQL Workbench: Administration	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.2 .31 CE	OS:	Windows (windows Xp and windows 7)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
while using mysql workbench, under server administration the new server instance wizard the drop down list of windows services does not populate and instead an error message is displayed 

How to repeat:
start the application  by double clicking the icon on the desktop
once started, click on the new server instance link under the server administration
on the create new server instance profile instance wizard i choose the localhost radio button and clicked next
on the next page i changed the port to suit my configuration and entered the appropriate default schema and clicked next
on the next page i was prompted for the root password which  i provided and success was reported -i then clicked next 
the bug then hit-the wizard momentarily freezes and then an error dialog popups

Suggested fix:
need to investigate why the drop down list would not populate or provide the ability to enter it manually

What exact version of MySQL Workbench, 5.2.x, do you use?

the version is 5.2.31 CE sorry for that

What exact version of MySQL server, x.y.z, do you use and do you have a Windows service created for it?

I'm using server version 5.1.50 and i have installed it as a windows service -though I'm about to upgrade to the latest stable version

Please, send the results of "sc qc" command for your MySQL service from cmd.exe. Like these:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin>sc qc MySQL5
[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS
