[Cirilo Bernardo <cirilo.bernardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll use the install package from Jenkins and see if I can work out
what goes wrong.

The first dialog (regarding bad alias) pops up because the current
project directory (C:\Program Files\KiCad) is a parent directory
of KISYS3DMOD. I need to think a little about how to handle that
specific case, but I think KiCad should never use that path for
the working directory anyway.

The second dialog is as vague as it can get. I've seen kicad crash
because the new scenegraph library (libkicad_3dsg) wasn't found,
but on Windows it should be installed with the exe files so that
shouldn't be a problem. The plugins themselves may fail that way
if kicad's executable directory is not in the Windows PATH since
they need to run components of wxWidgets and libkicad_3dsg.
If that is the case, we either need to set PATH appropriately or
move the plugins to the exe directory.  I would prefer to set
PATH if that's possible, but I know next to nothing about the
Windows setup and would have to take advice from Windows
users and packagers.

The plugins themselves would not cause a crash if they are not
found - there simply would be no support for the 3D file preview
if no plugins were found.
