Description:
I have installed MySQL Community but it does not install Workbench or will not run Migration Toolkit because it states that it cannot initiate the Java Loader.  When I run Java - Version from CMD it states
"java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)"

My path is: 
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

Please help.

Which version of WorkBench is installed 6.2.4?. Thanks.

If WorkBench isn't installed try to install version 6.2.4.

It doesn't look like any version of Workbench was installed.  I have tried reinstalling the whole package twice, but it does not install Workbench.

Then try to download the WorkBench msi package from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/  and try to install.

It sounds like you're using a deprecated product. Migration Toolkit is no longer supported and has been replaced by the Migration module of MySQL Workbench.
