What is the error you get? I don't have Windows to verify, but a quick look into the subprocess source suggests that it uses CreateProcess(). Googling for that finds <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425(v=vs.85).aspx> which states """ lpCurrentDirectory [in, optional] The full path to the current directory for the process.
