Bug #66386	MySQL Cluster Installs the Windows Service incorrectly

Description:
Several things seems to be broken in the MySQLCluster installer for Windows. One things is that the service it creates references a mysqld one bin directory down from where it should be, i.e. by default on Windows 7, it points to:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Cluster 5.5\bin\bin\mysqld
instead of the slightly more correct:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Cluster 5.5\bin\mysqld

How to repeat:
Run the MySQL Cluster Installer on Windows. It will fail due to other bugs, but if you post installation looks at what the installer created in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services-><the name you gave the service during installation> you can see the path to the executable.

I gave this a severity S2, as this is more than an inonvenience with a fix, as Cluster will not install at all.

yes .. it would be very nice if they bothered to test the Windows installers before releasing.  It is getting more and more annoying every day. Almost nothing works now. I have stopped using installers.
