Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a gaming bottle and a Wargaming installation, then inspect bottles/backend/managers/installer.py at line 439 and the task call in bottles/backend/utils/threading.py at line 73. Done means the Wargaming launcher installs without the reported 'path' error or a stuck installation.
