Bug description

When installing with a clean standard, full or custom installation (specifically including Serial that was the only optional component),
the installation worked without problems,
setup the program,
on first load it created the sketchbook folder,
but Serial library is nowhere available in the program

when importing it with import processing.serial.*;
i get this error:

The package “processing.serial” does not exist. You might be missing a library.

No library found for processing.serial
Libraries must be installed in a folder named 'libraries' inside the sketchbook folder (see the Preferences window).
The package “processing.serial” does not exist. You might be missing a library.

Steps to reproduce this

install processing with same build making sure to include Serial
import Serial and run
fail cause you don't have Serial
