I've installed MySql 5.6 with Workbench and MySql Notifier.

I can start/stop the MySql Service ( Service name : MySql56 ) from Services.msc. But I'm not able to start/stop it from MySql Notifier. I'm having the following error.

enter image description here

I don't what's going on there. I can confirm that a service named "MySql56" is present and it starts/stops successfully from services.msc

My system is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

You must access to location: %APPDATA%\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config (C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config) and change ServiceName to MySQL56 in settings.config file
