Description

Later: Some corrections made.

See Dev Manual "User Install Path" https://opencpn-manuals.github.io/development/plugin-installer/0.0.1/Terminology.html#_user_config_path

The "User" in this case refers to the location in the users directory, where the data is first installed.
For windows this is %LOCALAPPDATA% or %HOME%\Appdata\Local on window
This directory cannot be written to by the User because it is owned by the system!
Instead another User writable data directory has to be created.
So why is it called the "User Config Path"? I think this is confusing. terminology.

I think perhaps it is intended to be called "Plugin Install Path" https://opencpn-manuals.github.io/development/plugin-installer/0.0.1/Terminology.html#_user_install_path
