mysql workbench - Could not acquire management access for administration. Runtime Error: Unable to excute command chcp

Question

I installed MySQL workbench 8.0 in windows 7. After the installation I just clicked server status its through the error like Could not acquire management access for administration. Run-time Error: Unable to execute command chcp. Please make sure that the C:WindowsSystem32 directory is in your path environment variable. How can I solve this error?

Answer 1

To resolve this problem on 64 bit system we have to follow two steps.

1. add environment variable path to C:WindowsSystem32

2. we need chcp.com cmd file in C:WindowsSysWOW64 copy it from C:WindowsSystem32 path and paste in C:WindowsSysWOW64

   now close mysql workbench and reopen it.

Hope you got the answer.
