Application doesn't start if not on the same drive letter as Chrome about neel

[Niminem]

@alistairkeys Thanks for this detailed information! Excuse my delay I've been bogged in work recently. I agree 100% using WIndows registry for finding chrome. I'll be making these changes with the next release. We're also adding a similar functionality for Mac. Leaving this open until the changes are made, I'll ping you here directly as soon as it's live!

I tried Neel 0.3.1 but it still complains when Chrome isn't found on the drive. The following monkey-patch in neel.nim (findChromeWindows proc) seems to fix it:

when defined(Windows):
    import std/registry

proc findChromeWindows*: string =
    const defaultPath = r"\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
    const backupPath = r"\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
    if fileExists(absolutePath(defaultPath)):
        result = defaultPath
    elif fileExists(absolutePath(backupPath)): #was originally an if 4/5/21 (testing)
        result = backupPath
    else: # include registry search in future versions to account for any location
        when defined(Windows):
            result = getUnicodeValue(
                path = r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe",
                key = "", handle = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
        discard

    if result.len == 0:
        raise newException(CustomError, "could not find Chrome in Program Files (x86) directory")

I've not tried this change on other OS's, just Windows. I wrapped the logic in 'when defined(Windows)' sections as I assume it's not applicable/would probably break other OS's.

Feel free to make use of these changes. I'm too lazy to PR it. :)

@alistairkeys
Thanks for the contribution! I included it in Neel and made a quick release, you can download 0.3.2 now which integrates your changes. Happy coding <3
