MySQL Workbench for Windows can be installed using the Windows Installer package or installed manually from a Zip file.
Installing MySQL Workbench using the Installer package requires either Administrator or Power User privileges. If you are using the Zip file without an installer, you do not need Administrator or Power User privileges.
Installing MySQL Workbench Using the Installer Package
MySQL Workbench can be installed using the Windows Installer
(.msi) installation package. The MSI package
bears the name
mysql-workbench-,
where version-win32.msiversion indicates the
MySQL Workbench version number.
Improving the MySQL Installation Wizard depends on the support and feedback of users. If you find that the MySQL Installation Wizard lacks some feature important to you, or if you discover a bug, please report it in our bugs database. Select the Report a Bug item from the Help menu.
To install MySQL Workbench, right-click the MSI file and select the Install item from the pop-up menu, or double-click the file.
In the Setup Type window you may choose
a Complete or Custom
installation. To use all features of MySQL Workbench choose the
Complete option.
Unless you choose otherwise, MySQL Workbench is installed in
C:\, where
%PROGRAMFILES%\MySQL\MySQL
Workbench 5.1
edition_type\%PROGRAMFILES% is the default
directory for programs for your locale. The
%PROGRAMFILES% directory may be
C:\Program Files or
C:\programme.
Installing from the Zip File
If you have problems running the Installer package, an
alternative is to install from a Zip file without an installer.
That file is called
mysql-workbench-.
version-win32.zip
To install using the Zip file, download the Zip file to a convenient location and decompress the file using a Zip utility. You can place the resulting directory anywhere on you system. You need not install or configure the application before using it. You may want to create a shortcut on your desktop or the quick launch bar.
