Description:
I'm simply trying to install the latest version of MySQL workbench and the installer errors out due to an error message.  The initial unpacking begins, and before I can start setup, I get this error:

Internal error.  (There is an error in XML document (11, 4),) The installer will now close.

And that's it.

How to repeat:
Repeat installing.

Quick update on other things I've tried:  I've deleted all the temp files created when the installer unpacks.  I tried downloading both versions of the .msi to see if one worked better than the other.  I've done several system restores to times prior to when I tried to install the MySQL Workbench the first time.  All with no luck.
