Description:
After installation of 4.1.x, I can't run any application in console of Windows (DOS ), such as "net view" or "java -version" etc...

I found that the PATH environment variable is changed to it's literal value:

1. assume: JAVA_HOME is set to "C:\jdk1.5.0_01", and PATH is set to "%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\MySQL41\bin"

2. then: the <Value> of PATH will be "C:\jdk1.5.0_01\bin;C:\MySQL41\bin" (type PATH command in DOS console)

3. but: after installation of MySQL4.1.x, the <Value> of PATH is changed to it's literal value ""%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\MySQL41\bin"

How to repeat:
Each time after the installation of 4.1.x

Suggested fix:
Use old install program (4.0.x)?
