The fakenet.exe binary looks for the config files/folders in the current directory (the location from which is executed). This breaks the executable if executed from a location that is not where the binary resides in memory:

C:\Users\flare\Desktop > C:\Tools\fakenet\fakenet3.2-alpha\fakenet.exe

  ______      _  ________ _   _ ______ _______     _   _  _____

Would it be possible to change it to look for the config files in the location of the binary? It would make it nicer for user to use fakenet and also simplify FLARE-VM installation code as this is not standard case and we can't use the helper functions we use to install most tools.
