I can confirm that this is an issue when using VLC embedded as a
language binding (in my case, the python binding). On win32, VLC needs
to be launched (or instanciated from the binding) in its installation
directory. Thus, in the python binding, it is necessary to chdir to the
installation directory before initializing the player. This is
unnecessary in the linux/unix version.

It would be nice on win32 to have VLC check itself the registry entry
Software\VideoLAN\VLC and use that as default directory when it is
unable to find its module directory.
