I'm not exactly sure what they mean by upgrading the client program unless they mean upgrading your windows. Which Windows version were you installing on? The reason I think that is because I just recently set up a dual boot system. My very first attempt at installing exactly what you did yielded a multitude of problems because I was installing on Win98SE which does not really like any server program. Took me 4 days to get the bugs worked out and everything working properly and I didn't tinker beyond that point. I created the dual boot system with WinXP and installed perl, php, abyss, phpmyadmin and didn't encounter that error this time. So other than that I'm not really sure. Sorry, wish I had a better answer.
I'm using Windows XP Home with all the latest service packs installed. I'm using Mozilla Firefox (Firefox RULES!) as my browser instead of IE, so that could also be a factor. I don't think so, but I'm just guessing here, so... lol
I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're referring to any programs that I might be using in conjunction with MySQL 4.1.1—like phpMyAdmin, etc... when they say "client programs". Anything you might be installing on the server for use with MySQL. That seems logical to me.
Back to the ol' drawing board. *sigh*
