I found this chess program that will run from my Drive if I execute the .exe by browsing to it's folder, but when I execute it from the PortableApps menu, it doesn't see the images folders that are at: "x:\PortableApps\NagaSkaki_4.00\images" from the error message I get, it's looking for the images file in the absolute folder of "x:\\images\" so I copied the images folder to the root of my drive and the program worked. So from this I must surmise that when PortableApps menu executes the file, it does so with a working directory as the root of the drive.
Is it possible to change this behavior?

in the latest beta that the working directory is set to the root of the drive. At the moment, there is only one way around this "working directory bug":
go back to beta 1.0.0.2.

You can try making a launcher that sets the working directory to the proper folder when run, and then launches the program you want to run. I imagine everything needed to write such a launcher in NSIS is already implemented in many of John's launchers.
