Miranda does not use profile created at first launch after installation #1665

Miranda Version                  : 0.10.8.0 Built Oct 24 2012 20:32:15
Unicode Build                    : Yes
Test Build # (if applicable)     : No
Plugin Version # (if applicable) : No

After Installation with miranda-im-v0.10.8-unicode.exe the miranda executable 
starts up, and creates a profile in a .dat file that is no more accessible 
after restart.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a fresh installation
2. Allow to start miranda from the installer
3. Create a new profile with the name "home"

What is the expected result?

The profile home.dat file should still be used, when closing(exit) miranda, and 
starting again.

What happens instead?

When starting miranda, it shows the message "Miranda was unable to open 
"profile.dat" It's inaccessible or used ..."

This is because in mirandaboot.ini the profile path is set to: 
ProfileDir=%APPDATA%\Miranda
but the real path, where the .dat file is located is:
ProfileDir=%APPDATA%\Miranda\home
