This is because the paths are hard-coded into the hugin binary and
have nothing to do with the installer. It does however make sense to
have the binary in the installer revert to the paths used by the
installer, so I patched the binary to do so. This updated build is
available here: http://www.box.net/shared/meeaobr9ec

I updated the default paths to the control point detectors for Windows
in hugin, and also added functionality so that hugin checks if a path
relative to hugin.exe was entered as the control point detector
executable so the new paths will work.

The patch to the hugin-2010.2.0_rc2 tarball is available here:
http://www.mpetroff.net/hugin/hugin_windows-CPG-defaults_patch_2010-09-30.diff

I would ask someone with commit access to apply the patch to the
mercurial repository, but the new paths, while better organizing the
detectors in lieu of package management, would make it more difficult
for those not using an installer. One remedy would be to create empty
folders for the various detectors when hugin is compiled so they could
be populated with detectors later if desired. Detectors in bin still
work of course, but the default paths have to be changed. Could one of
the developers please voice an option on the issue?

A patch to the installer that makes the control point detector folders
the same as the new hard coded values is available here:
