Install MySQL Workbench as portable app

Run in CMD or PowerShell:

msiexec /a mysql-workbench-community-8.0.xx-winx64.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\wbtemp

Replace the filename with your actual MSI name. The wbtemp folder will be created automatically.

This does NOT install the application. It only extracts the files.

Find MySQLWorkbench.exe inside the extracted files and copy the entire folder to a new location, for example:

C:\PortableWorkbench

Then run:

MySQLWorkbench.exe

This method should work for most applications distributed as MSI installers.
