IMO this is a failure in the executable, not in the packaging.
What if the user deletes $XDG_data/zim? This is a perfectly reasonable thing for a user to do if they want a reset. What happens right now if I do that on a Unix platform? It is incorrect to require user data folders under ~ be created during installation. The main executable or the main executable's launcher must create the folder. In the Windows build, the Portable Install has a launcher but not the Desktop Install. Therefore, we need to change the main executable to either tolerate the missing folder, or to create it before it reads it. Otherwise I will have to make a tiny launcher script for the Desktop Install using NSIS, which creates any required resources for $USER and then passes control to the main executable.

IIRC the windows build has to supply the .py files of the plugins in order to make zim find them. These should now be in XDG_DATA/zim/plugins rather than the python path. Let me know if this is a problem for packaging, could add a rule for finding them relative to the executable. The explanation for the error is that when the dialog is shown, we load the description of the first plugin. Here the error occurs, saying that it can not find the first description. This means the entire plugin list is empty.

It doesn't work for me on my build VM either; I didn't test everything before I published it. Jaap: have requirements changed? It will be a few days before I can look into this.
