Problem with library(RMySQL), registry pointer problem?

I have the following error:
Error in fun(...) : 
  A MySQL Registry key was found but the folder C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Tools for 5.0\/. doesn't contain a bin or lib/opt folder. That's where we
need to find libmySQL.dll. 
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'RMySQL'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RMySQL'

This happens after I install MySQL Tools. Seems that R is pointing to the
wrong registry. Can anyone help?
Thanks

You need to install the client programs and libraries when you install

sure to read the steps carefully.
