Hi, can you try run scoop install lessmsi; scoop config use_lessmsi true then rerun scoop install mysql-workbench? I have verified that although we cannot extract it using msiexec, we can do this using lessmsi.

I will find some time to add a note for this manifest regarding on the requirement of lessmsi
