                          I upgraded MySql workbench to version 8.  
I'm running MySql Server 5.7. 
When I open the options file in workbench it says it cannot locate a file for MySql 8 and that it will create one in the path C:\ProgramData\MySql\MySql Server 8\my.ini   
I do not have MySql Server 8 installed.  

 - Why is workbench not finding the file?  
 - How can I point it towards the correct file?
 - Do I need to downgrade workbench?
