There are [a couple of options](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/issues/267) for that. But wouldn't it be the cleanest solution to solve it right in the source code from the beginning, by not using absolute paths? (How is it done for macOS)?

Well, the user's perspective is the opposite: With Windows, we can get your "original" software, directly from the developers, in the way the developers want it...
