Bug #12156 --default-character-set for client not working

Description:
When I try to connect to the server with specified character set:

mysql --default-character-set=latin2

I see message:

mysql: Character set 'latin2' is not a compiled character set and is not specifi
ed in the 'C:\mysql\\share\charsets\Index.xml' file.

But MySQL is installed in
c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\

How to repeat:
Installaction MySQL 4.1.13 (mysql-essential-4.1.13-win32.msi) with server character-set - latin2

I was unable to repeat the behavior reported.

c:\mysql\bin>type c:\my.ini
[client]
default-character-set=latin2

[mysqld]
default-character-set=latin2
c:\mysql\bin>mysql -uroot

Try to install not in c:\mysql directory. I've installed in Program Files

I try to install on other machine and problem still exists.
I installed from binaries (from file mysql-essential-4.1.13-win32.msi) in default directory (c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\) with latin2 charset.
Installation was OK.
After a command: mysql -uroot -p
I see result:
mysql: Character set 'latin2' is not a compiled character set and is not specifi
ed in the 'C:\mysql\\share\charsets\Index.xml' file.

Why program try to read from C:\mysql\ direcory?

Try to start the client like below:

mysql --defaults-file=path_where_is_my_ini -uroot -p

what happens is that the default locations are c:\my.ini and
c:\win_dir(windows)\my.ini

That's the result.

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1>mysql --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini" -uroot -p
mysql: Character set 'latin2' is not a compiled character set and is not specifi
ed in the 'C:\mysql\\share\charsets\Index.xml' file

The service MySQL use my.ini from "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini" eg.:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1>sc qc MySQL
[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

        DEPENDENCIES       :
        SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem

After reinstalling Windows XP I installed MySQL 4.1.13a again. The problem still exists. I think it's problem with binaries for Windows. When I install in c:\mysql directory it works OK. The path for character sets is hardcoded in mysqld.exe. Maybe this is a reason for that error.
