Installer for Mysql Workbench on Macintosh M1 M2 ARM processor using Parallels.
How to Make MySQL Workbench run on Macintosh M1 and Windows with Parallels
Problem:
Windows for ARM will not permit the MySQL Workbench installer run. When trying to install Workbench the following error is displayed:
"The processor is not adequate for running MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE."
Workaround:
Option 1: Use a modified version of the MySQL Workbench installer.
The modified version can be found here

Option 2: Modify the installer to ignore the Intel processor check.
This requires running Orca to modify the msi installation file.
Instructions for running orca are found here.
