Description:
Receive error as soon as program initializes. Am not able to get past error message. Originally installed new version an update. Got error on start up of Workbench Then I did a full uninstall/reinstall of workbench and still experience the same issue.

How to repeat:
Happens every time I start it

Attempted to use "Report Bug" feature with no luck.

Error message: 
"MySQl Workbench has encountered a problem
External component has thrown an exception"

Is there an error log somewhere I can include?

Report Bug form seems to think the log in that I'm using right now is no good.

You can get  error logs in \Users\you\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\log\

I am having the same exact bug it seems.  Throws the error right away, and cannot report the bug.

Try renaming the Workbench folder in \Users\you\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench and starting WB again. If WB can start after that, pls send a zip of that folder (after reviewing it for any WB related private data you don't want to share).

Please also start WB from the command line with the following option and attach the wb.log file for it.

MySQLWorkbench.exe -log-level=debug3
