Description
Subject has been discussed previously here [0]
Tested only on Windows (XP and 7)
When starting QGIS with --configpath option to move profile in a different location than %USERPROFILE%, plugins can be installed with installer.
Path handling seems to consider '\\' as an escape character, and error log shows a truncated path.
For example, starting with --configpath "F:\\temp\\.qgis" gives following error on install:
Impossible de charger l'extension 'HelloWorld' depuis ['C:/OSGEO4W/apps/qgis-dev/./python', 'F: emp\\.qgis/python', 'R:\\Espace_Correspondants_SIG\\Astuces_Outils\\QGIS_PLUGINS', 'F: emp\\.qgis/python/plugins', 'C:/OSGEO4W/apps/qgis-dev/./python/plugins', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\bin\\python27.zip', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\bin', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode', 'C:\\OSGEO4W\\apps\\qgis-dev\\python\\plugins\\fTools\\tools']

Ah! so dumb of me, I should have known it.
Well, so the workaround before patch is to use "/" and not "\\" in configpath. Tested today and it works.
Thanks Nathan (again)
