Description:
I downloaded MySQL 5.0.19, but didn't find the mysql_upgrade script in the bin directory as announced at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-19.html.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL 5.0.19 on Windows and verify the bin directory.

Same for MySQL 5.1.7

The current upgrade script is a Bourne shell script, i.e.
not useful on Windows anyway. A solution that works
for both Unix and Windows should be provided.

But the WiX specification for the Windows packager
in 5.0 and up is updated to include the Bourne shell
script.

As documented here, mysql_upgrade applies on
Unix only:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-upgrade.html

The workaround is documented there, too.

We have updated the WL to reflect the new direction for mysql_upgrade.  Holyfoot is working on it.

Noted in 5.0.22, 5.1.10 changelogs that mysql_upgrade
now is available generally (it's been converted from a
shell script to an executable binary).

Also updated upgrade and mysql_udpate sections to
indicate the more general availability.
