Wow, I stopped trying to set it and instead just let it create itself. Then I ask the profile what cachePath it will be using and it reports the local app data instead of the roaming one, and it adds the "cache" as well. This only happens with Windows. It reports correctly on Linux and MacOS.

But we know this is not correct at all. So QtWebEngine for windows is saying its cache is one place but it is actually in another!

I will have to either hard code in the roaming bit or try to find where that path is being created somehow. This is a mess.

Tomorrow, I will try to track down where this is being set in the Windows code in QtWebEngine.
