Description:
Making a new server instance configuration and enabling SSH login based administration the check for file my.ini fails.
Log says:
Checking command 'sc query mysql | wba_filter(RUNNING)'
Checked server status: Server is running.
Server detected as running Check if %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini exists in remote host
Operation failed: File %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini doesn't exist

Looking in ssh server log i found the path checked is: 
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\%Program
  Files%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini

that is wrong.

I try to select all the MySQL installation type with no success.

How to repeat:
Make a new instance regitration with SSH login based administration.
Connect to a MySQL server 5.1.50-community on Windows XP SP3 32bit

Suggested fix:
Correct the serching path for my.ini file.

Sounds like your SSH is configured to allow access starting from C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator instead of C:\, can you change that and retry?
