Probably you have installed the new mysql server into a different location.
At the moment only three default locations are searched for the mysql command line client. I will add a dialog and allow the user to enter the path manually.

Ulrich,

location is exactly the same as previous install:

[FSCZ0KW691WKYSX] D:\Profiles\MCHWE175>"C:\Program Files\mysql\bin\mysql" -v
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 229 to server version: 4.1.3b-beta-nt-log

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

Thanks for the fast answer. 
Your path is one of the tree locations that are recognized. :)
You were right, it's a bug.  It is fixed now and will correctly work in the next version again.
