MySql Notifier: High Severity Error for MySqlWorkbench

[Sebastian Scheurle]

On Windows startup (Windows 8.1 Enterprise) and when trying to start MySQL Notifier I receive the following error message:


"The type initializer for "MySQL.Utility.Classes.MySQLWorkbench.MySqlWorkbench" threw an exception
at MySQL.Utility.Classes.MySQLWorkbench.MySqlWorkbench.set_ExternalApplicationName(String value)
at MySql.Notifier.Notifier.InitializeMySqlWorkbenchStaticSettings()
at MySql.Notifier.Notifier..ctor()
at MySql.Notifier.NotifierApplicationContext..ctor()
at MySql.Notifier.Program.Main(String[] args)"

I cannot startup MySQL Workbench. Nothing happens when trying to start (the process is visible in the task manager but nothing more). Before, everything worked well. I do not recall what changed before the error occurred.

I tried deinstalling+deleting program folder+reinstalling according to http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?173,600464,604764#msg-604764 but no success

Thank you for your help.
