Sounds like a packaging bug.  The archive contains "/usr/bin/zsh.exe" as a
symbolic link to "/usr/bin/zsh-4.2.0.exe".  This will cause zsh to not
work from batch files and shortcuts (!).

What's weird is the fact that running "zsh" showed version 4.1.1.  Even
with the symlink this should not have happened.  I assume running
"zsh-4.2.0" would show version 4.2.0, right?  It would be interesting to
see if you have other copies of "zsh" in your PATH, which you can find out
by running "/bin/which -a zsh".
