Another workaround is to manually edit the geoip_db_paths file in your personal
configuration folder, which you can find out from Help -> About Wireshark ->
Folders -> Personal configuration.

When adding an entry, it seems that you should enclose it in quotes and convert
all backslashes to \x5c instead.  For example, an entry might look like the
following:

"C:\x5cUsers\x5cbetty\x5cwireshark\x5cGeoIP"

Not very elegant either, but at least you don't need to move the GeoIP database
files.
