Well, I can tell you that the reason it didnt work in windows when running
from another directory is because the directory that update.ini (or the exe
file) is in probably wasnt in your path.. But either way, fixing the program
to get the exe's path will take care of it, until you or a user moves the
update.ini to somewhere that isnt in your path and isnt the same directory as
the exe.. lol
