[Eric] [eric] plug-ins' Python packages installation virtual environment

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Christos,

indeed the three programs mentioned in your mail are searched for on Windows 
via the registry. It is the _findExecutable() function of the plug-in file 
(e.g. PluginPyInstaller.py). For other platforms only the PATH variable is 
used. Should the method for Windows be extended to search the PATH as well?
