Picasa Path Incorrect when x32 & x64 OS PCs have same Machine Name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Following Thanks to Manu on forum:

Where I get lost: A dual-boot laptop running XP and 7 accesses a NAS. 
This machine is named for both os identically (e.g. myPC). The 
settings of PicasaStarter are stored on the network-drive too. Picasa 
and Starter were installed first on XP. Now running Win7 PicasaStarter 
takes the executable-path for XP. :-( 

IMHO this path should be saved in PicasaStarterConfiguration.xml 
instead of PicasaStarterSettings.xml and is specific to the running 
machine, not to the settings of picasa.

Note: Including in config file could still have issues, especially if run from 
NAS or portable drive - Earl

Added code to put a copy of the Picasa Path in the 
PicasaStarterConfiguration.xml file.  When PS is run, it will first look for 
the path in the settings file, then the config file, then try the default for 
the present OS, then put up an error box.

This should handle the machine name problem, and cases where the config file is 
on a portable drive.
