The Plugins Admin simply unpacks the zip-file to a folder in the plugins directory. However, the Config directory is elsewhere, so the default configuration, though supplied in the zip-file, stays in the wrong place. Not where the plugin will later search for it by requesting the path to the Config folder from Notepad++.

As a result, user installs the plugin, and the plugin fails to find its data in the Config folder.

One solution could be to check if the configuration is missing, and in that case copy the folder contents from plugins\WebEdit\Config to Config\WebEdit. This would make a decent "init on first run" behavior that would work for most users, especially with fresh installations.
