Description:
MySQL Workbench 5.2.16 OSS beta is not compatible with MySQL 5.5.1 m2 community. I have to change by hand to install new server connection.

How to repeat:
* install mySQL 5.5 to "C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.5\"
* install MySQL Workbench to 
  "C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.5\MySQL Workbench 5.2 OSS"

Suggested fix:
add a MySQL 5.5 profile or let Workbench search windows register on where MySQL is installed.

so to make workbench compatible with mysql 5.5, a installed package should be added to the list of installed packages (with the path in picture 4) or let workbench locate the path from windows register... 

thank you
