SQL

hi there, trying to learn MySQL but got stocked in the very first step following the instruction:

  1. downloaded MySQL GPL Community Server (v8.4 MSI) - done
  2. fail to find workbench in directory
  3. downloaded MySQL Workbench 8.0.36
  4. run and fail.

“Access Denied”
(We are sorry for the inconvinience… The Workbench Team)

Hi,

Do you have an administrator account on that machine ?
Is F a local drive or a network drive ?

Seems like a basic right issue but sometimes it may happen because of malformed path. Spaces can cause problems sometimes tough it seems OK in here.

Cheers.
