Description:
I used your mysql-5.5.9-winx64.msi to install MySQL on a Windows 2008 64-bit server. The MySLQ Command Line Client does not appear in the Start Menu. I have no idea how to add it. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing. Nothing works. 

How to repeat:
Install mysql-5.5.9-winx64.msi on a Windows 2008 64-bit server.

so you will need to start it from the comman line somewhat like this

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: ********
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
