Normally I would agree with you, however I've always had trouble with 
the installer before when WB was working - I had to run the installer a 
good 4 or 5 times to get it to install  without crashing due to a DEP fault.

When I rebuilt my PC, I put 5.0.27 OSS on, whereas before I had 5.0.26 
OSS - I did try going back to the older version but it did the same 
thing, not sure if it was because I had already installed the newer 
version, however.

I can reproduce this behaviour easily enough - re-enable DEP and try to 
start WB - it crashes consistently after ~3 seconds of showing the 
splash screen and refuses to run.  It will literally only run when DEP 
is disabled completely.

There are a few bugs that have been previously opened due to issues with 
the installer and with WB:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=37824 - same problem as mine but in XP
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36440 - Windows installer
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=40762 - another bug with "protected 
memory" errors

I've created another report and added a private note which includes the 
event log data that was logged when Workbench crashed (v5.0.26.)
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=41022.  Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Andy
