Description:
I tried to install the SYS schema.

MySQL is 5.6 from a zip installed in d:\mysql
The connection uses "Local Socket/Pipe" instead of TCP/IP.

The installation fails w/o giving an error. It returns to the screen with the 'Install helper' button.

From the WB logfile:
13:18:04 [INF][wb_admin_perfschema.py:work:152]: Installing sys\sys_56.sql...

13:18:04 [ERR][wb_admin_perfschema.py:get_installed_sys_version:61]: MySQL error getting sys schema version: ("Table 'sys.version' doesn't exist", 1146)

How to repeat:
Try to install the SYS schema when using a pipe on Windows.

After restarting mysqld with --enabled-named-pipe it worked.

1. The error should be improved.

2. Why are there differences in how WB connects normally and when installing the SYS schema.

WB seems to connect via TCP/IP if it is configured to connect over a named pipe to a server w/o named pipes enabled.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Attempts to install the "SYS" performance helper schema with a "Local
Socket/Pipe" enabled MySQL connection would fail, and do so without
reporting an error.

Thank you for the bug report.
