Windows: Initialization fails because CascLib is looking for .agent.db #26

On my Windows machine, games are located as such:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\ <-- This is where .agent.db lives
c:\Program Files (x86)\Heroes of the Storm\ <-- .build.info lives here
c:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\ <-- .build.info lives here

Games are fully patched.

Even the comments of InitializeCascDirectories says "The root directory is the one where .build.info is", but CheckGameDirectory() looks for .agent.db. If I modify InitializeCascDirectories to check the parent of the current directory for .build.info instead, it works.

The problem is more complcated than that. The Agent.db is searched because CascLib searches for the data subdirectory there. My plan was that caller of CascOpenStorage could use any directory within the game

The game directory itself
Any subdirectory

To see where the CASC data are actually located, the library searches for ".agent.db" to find "data_dir" there. That is then used as a subdirectory where the data files are searched.

Checked all my game installations, and the ".agent.db" is always present, with the date quite recent - Even Starcraft II, which I recently updated to contain CASC storage, has the file there. If you are saying that the file is not always present, then I have a problem.

I do not find .agent.db within my game directories at all.
