Why is the portable apps menu less portable than explorer?

I'm trying to create a portable web server by using a compiled autoit script, but I have to use absolute paths to get the thing to run properly from the portable apps menu. It worked fine when I ran it in explorer from inside the drive without absolute paths or drive letter, but not in portable apps. What's the deal?

Do you use the latest beta of the menu?

It has a "bug" that the working directory isnt the folder the exe is run in but the root of the drive. Maybe that is causing your problem.
