 Default Installation path is the squish installation
path on Jenkins Server.
 Under advanced configuration provide the path of
squish installations for slave machines with some
key value.
 Each line of the text area consists of a simple key
value mapping. To configure a Squish installation
located at C:Squish choose an arbitrary name /
key like squishOnWindowsForQt47 and append
the /squishPath tag to assign the absolute path.
For convenience you can use the node name too
of course.
