Description:
Installed server 5.6 without workbench.  Decided later to install workbench.  Re-ran the installer, but failed citing Visual C++ redistributable not installed. Downloaded and installed the redistributable (installed the 32 bit version).  Re-ran the installer.  Install ran to completion.  Still didn't work.  Realized I was on a 64 bit machine so downloaded and installed the correct c++ package.  Still wouldn't work.  Tried to un-install workbench but installer wouldn't do it properly.  Went to control panel and un-installed it.
Ran the installer, added workbench.  Install completed cleanly.  Still doesn't work.

Tried the latest version on a brand new machine.  This time I install the correct Visual C++ redistributable first.  Still get the same results.

NO such folder exists. Appdata\romaing has only 3 folders
Adobe, Microsoft and Oracle.  The Oracle folder has on the notifier files
