I have just discovered a BUG in the frontend.

When the frontend is invoked through the use of a launcher, the
backend's environment path will not be the directory to which the
front end and backend are installed. This is not the case if the
launcher is copied to the directory containing the executables.

I edited one line in the Lazarus code for the frontend and the problem
has been resolved:

To correct the issue edit 'backend.pas' as follows:
AProcess.Parameters.Add(ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName) + '/' + exe);
