There are two prerequisite requirements need to install MySql Workbench as follows     Net Framework 4 0 Microsoft Visual C   2010   When  Net Framework 4 0 does not exist your computer installation will be corrupted  But if Microsoft Visual C   2010 does not exist your computer then you will continue the installation but cannot open MySql Workbench program  Sometimes you will need Microsoft Visual C   2013 instead of Microsoft Visual C   2010  So I recommend to install Microsoft Visual C   2013    Microsoft Visual C   2013

Update 2020   Unfortunately this is still happening    Download  NET 4 0  My machine already had it   Download Visual C   As the above solution states  Download the Mysql workbench installer    I still don t know why  it would allow me to install without checking for dependencies  I have become accustomed to this kind of behavior when I am installing any application and to not see it is annoying  I suppose I should leave this personal opinions out of my solution but I have had to install this multiple times and have comes across some kind of dependency issue

I found I needed more than just the Visual C   Redistributable 2015   I also needed what s at this page  It s confusing because the titles make it ambiguous as to whether you re downloading the  very heavy  Visual Studio or just Visual C    In this case it only upgrades Visual C    and MySQL Workbench launched after this install
