Description:
After installing "MySQL Installer for windows" (Beta) on windows 7, "MySQL Command Line Client" failed to open up.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL Installer for Windows Beta onto Windows 7
Start, All Programs, MySQL, MySQL Server 5.5, MySQL Command Line Client

Suggested fix:
The target was set to 
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysql.exe" "--defaults-file=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini" "-uroot" "-p"
whereas the folder C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5 only contains
my-huge.ini
my-innodb-heavy-4G.ini
my-large.ini
my-medium.ini
my-small.ini
my-template.ini
and not my.ini.
Changing the traget my.ini to any of the filenames list above work OK.

Thank you for the bug report.

I get (with 5.5.10 64 bit)

1) If I start program from start menu shortcut the client program windows 'flickers' shortly and closes down.

2) If started from cmd.exe a msgbox pops up telling "... not a valid win32 program"

This is a regression, I believe.  It worked after the fix for http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=58952 (must then be in 5.5.9).
