How to repeat:
I just installed MySQL workbench 6.1 on my win7 64 bit system. I successfully created and tested a MySQL connection. However, each time i open the SQL editor for this connection and select server status, I get the following errors:

(1) Runtime Exception: Unable to execute command chcp. Please make sure that C:\Windows\System32 directory is in your PATH environment variables

(2) Unhandled exception: current profile has no WMI enabled.
