And then the application crashes.
Figured it out. I saved off a "new" .sql file while in Workbench. I exited Workbench. When launched again is when I got the error.
For some reason I looked at the folder I saved the .sql file in and noticed it was 0kb in size. I deleted this file and re-launched Workbench ... it launched normally.
Problem solved ....
Because your computer doesn't have Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 ;)
