Description:
Hello,

When trying to open program it crashes at splash screen.  I read all the other bug reports and forum posts and none of those solved the problem.  I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).  The error I get when I run from cmd with -swrendering is:

Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write
 protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
   at wb.WBContextUI.init(WBContextUI* , WBFrontendCallbacks* , WBOptions* )
   at MySQL.Workbench.WbContext.init(AppImpl application, WbOptions options, Voi
dStrUIFormDelegate create_main_form_view)
   at MySQL.GUI.Workbench.Program.Main(String[] Args)

Thanks in advance, I'm sure its probably something simple that I just don't know.

How to repeat:
Everytime I try to run MySQL Workbench

I figured out the cause of the crash, My laptop has a intergrated graphics on the cpu and also an dedicated gpu. MySQL was trying to run with the nvidia gpu, I opened it with the intergrated graphics and it runs fine.  Hope this will help others

Yes, the issue is resolved.  When I run workbench with the Integrated graphics adapter it works.  It just gives the error/crash when trying to run with Nvidia gpu, not sure why but at least I works.
