So... That's a bug with Workbench. Try uninstalling it and reinstalling the latest stable release as administrator. If you still get the error, you'll have to place the path to "chcp.com" into your environment variable path. Like this: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm Good luck! If I think of anything else, I'll chime in.

Also... You probably won't use workbench a whole lot outside the course, but it is a good visual way to see what's happening with your data.

Also... While I love my PC (and develop on it daily), setting this stuff up on them is hard. You will run into more errors down the road with other things. Just press on and gather resources wherever you can.

The link [http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm] helped me add the C:\Windows\System32 to the Path variable (with a ";" separation), and the problem is now resolved! Thanks Gary Alan Jackson!
