MySQL Workbench export problem - "mysqldump.exe is version 5.5.16" will not work with version 5.6.10 of MySQL Server"

Got this error today when trying to export a database hosted on MySQL Server 5.6.10 using MySQL Workbench 5.2.47.















Opening up a command-prompt and comparing the mysqldump.exe versions between MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench showed following














Solution
Copied the mysqldump.exe (version 5.6.10) from the MySQL Server 5.6 installation folder and replaced the mysqldump.exe (version 5.5.16) at the MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE folder.

Export now works like a charm again.
