[Paraview] Determine ParaView installation directory in Windows

[Андрей Траченко]

Thank you Robert, it works for me! Currently it's an experimental
minor feature in the application, so I don't care if there are
multiple installations of ParaView. (it's great when you can just
click a button and open your data in PV)
