MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE, Windows 7, “Can't connect to MySQL Server on 127.0.0.1 (10061)”

Question

I\'ve seen this problem asked a bunch of times on here but every solution posted hasn\'t been helpful for me.

I just got the x86 install and installed MySQL Workbenc

Answer 1

Sorry to bump an old question, I was having the same problem as OP, to fix this problem all I did was to download the MSI Installer and only reinstalled the server and went through the configuration which is pretty straightforward.
