Game location wizard misdetects the executable location

Hi,

Using the big green button, EDHM_UI thinks Elite Dangerous is installed in /home/ville/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32. This is obviously wrong.

I suppose the correct folder to choose is /home/ville/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/Products/elite-dangerous-odyssey-64/ - since this is where the executable EliteDangerous64.exe, which I can see the game is looking for, is located. I can only see this because I chose to run the installer in a terminal.

However this is not the main installation folder, which is two levels down in the path. The UI is not at all clear in making this distinction - i.e. which folder to choose if the automatic detection does not work.
