Summary [Qt] WMP plugin not found if installed in X:\PFiles\Plugins, X != C

Created attachment 57656 [details] \webkit\WebCore\plugins\win\PluginDatabaseWin.cpp In case Firefox not installed on PC, WMP Firefox plugin installs itself in X:\PFiles\Plugins, where X is one of the local drives. WebKit assumes X is the system drive, but this is not always the case. In case WMP plugin installs itself in drive other than the system one, WebKit cannot find it. Attached proposed patch for PluginDatabaseWin.cpp where WMP-specific logic is implemented. Instead of assuming system drive it looks in the registry for WMP plugin installation path: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\<SID>\Components\623431047B6C08F4F8DCBDEEB40F8C32] "6BBFDF96D153C8B4988D68D79C0D2A4A"="X:\\PFiles\\Plugins\\np-mswmp.dll"
