MySQL AB, MySQL Server 5.5 The folder in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is missing

I am trying to use MySQL for Python (MySQLdb package) on Windows to use it in a Django web frame.

I just installed MySQL Community Server 5.5.9, and I was able to run it and test it using the testing procedures suggested in the MySQL 5.5 Reference Guide. However, I found that I still do not have the MySQL AB folder, the subsequent MySQL Server 5.5 folder, and regkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which is needed to build the MySQLdb package.

The MySQL 5.5 Reference Guide states that:

The MySQL installation wizard creates one Windows registry key in a typical installation situation located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ MySQL AB.

However, I have a short Start menu and all installed program files. I used msi installation and installed without problems. Should I get the MySQL AB folder? Does anyone know what happened, and how should I get the MySQL AB / MySQL Server 5.5 folder and regkey?

I found that the key was actually created under HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Thank.
