Description
If started via the windows search EE promptly crashes, this has apparently been the case for a long time.
The really obvious thing to do is check the current working directory, IIRC starting windows programs in this way wont set it, or sets it differently somehow, the crash was very similar to what I have seen running without any resources.

Start by reproducing the crash when launching EmptyEpsilon through Windows Search, then inspect how startup determines the current working directory and locates resources. Done means the application launches through Windows Search without crashing or losing access to its resources.
