Indeed.  And if your path under bash doesn't include /usr/bin, then I'll
wager your postinstall scripts didn't run or at least completely/correctly.
See /etc/postinstall for the scripts.  If you aren't able to figure out
what didn't run properly, you can either try rerunning everything manually
and looking for faults (if any) or just rerun setup.exe and hope that it
has better luck with the scripts the second time around.
