There is a rough edge with the windows install. On linux a sensible data location is compiled in. On windows that is not the case. You can also set the global environmental variable %FG_ROOT% to contain your data path so it does not need to be specified on the command line.
Most people don't notice because FGRUN (the "gui") sets the --fg-root flag value for you.
