Bug Description
After developer revision 6236 the scripting plugin directory has a new location. Now on windows and linux the search path is in the share dir. I have generate a little patch to correct the install dir in the kicad-winbuilder script. Additionally I send even a small patch of the revision 6236 to the developer team for kicad, because even a small change needs to be made. On linux the scripting wizard is now working. With these small changes, we have a homogeneous structure in Linux and Windows.

I just changed this and it should work fine unless Brian did some non-standard install path stuff in kicad-winbuilder. The install sub-folders on linux and windows should be the same now and should not be changed. I will not apply your patch because it will break some of the other install path stuff. I recommend not using kicad-winbuilder and using msys2/mingw64 to build kicad. It is the preferred method on windows since it provides pre-built packages for all of the necessary dependencies.
