Jed I'll explain in more detail later. But the basic issue in Windows is that to execute a file from another directory than the one it is in means that writes are relative to the directory run from, not relative to the directory the executable is in. A way round this is to use environment variables that tell the program where it is and where to write configuration. Problem is the environment variables need to be pre-run and are not easily portable and are just another overhead. Normally Windows programs know how to natively reset paths but programs like node and its cousins don't. Often it will work (depending on how people launch software) but quite often it won't.
