After WireShark is started with the Run As Administrator, the dialog box allows
one to browse and create new folders, but the value saved is always the value
of %USERPROFILE% (or notable subfolder entries like %USERPROFILE%\Desktop)
whether for the first entry, subsequent entries, or edited entries.
If WireShark is closed and the file:
%USERPROFILE\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\geoip_db_paths
is manually edited, the folder value is respected and the GeoIP databases are
loaded (as seen by loading a capture and choosing Statistics, Endpoints, IP).
The same behaviour was observed in 1.10.6 on the same platform.
After a manual entry is created, subsequent starts of WireShark allow custom
folders to be created from the dialog box.
