On Windows, Play started pcsx-redux.exe, which relaunches pcsx-redux.main through the shell and exits. The editor then waited for the display block under the launcher's pid, which never exists, so the Game panel stayed empty. Play now runs pcsx-redux.main directly when it sits beside the launcher, whether the path came from the package or from Locate.

Also, a saved tool path that no longer exists (an old build, a moved folder) used to win over the package and send you to the setup popup. It now falls through to the environment and then the package.

pcsx-redux.exe relaunches pcsx-redux.main through the shell and exits, so the
editor waited on a pid that never creates the display block and Play showed
nothing. A saved tool path that no longer exists now falls through to the
environment and the package instead of asking for the file again.
