Plugins not visible when downloaded through PluginManager #139

Description

Description of the Issue

If i download any plugin using PluginManager, that plugin doesn't appear on Npp. The downloaded file is found in AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins. If I manually copy that into AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins by creating a folder with the same name of the plugin and place the plugin dll within that folder, then i can see the plugin in Npp.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Installed Npp(64 bit) latest v7.6
  2. Using Plugin Admin installed PluginManager, then installed the updated version of the PluginManager
  3. Using Plugin Manager installed XML Tools
    Did not find XMLTools in NPP
  4. Found the XMLTools.dll in AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins folder.
  5. Went to AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins folder
  6. Created a folder XMLTools in AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins
  7. Copied XMLTools.dll into AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins\XMLTools
  8. Opened Npp and XMLTools was visible

Expected Behavior

I shouldn't have to do the manual step of copying the plugin dll from
AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins folder
to
AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins folder
