Not at the beginning of the file, only at the optional string section
RELATIVE_PATH towards the end of the file. The normal path strings at
the beginning of the file are always absolute. I tried changing an
absolute to a relative path by hand and it failed with file not found.

But what again is your exact problem, if it works on changed drive letters
and when moved to a different drive even deep down in a directory?
I haven't tested it, but I'm 99% sure that it works also on a different
windows installation, if that works.

(my test target was 2 folders down btw, yours was in the same folder,
maybe that makes a difference, if the find target (?) button is shown)
