Research direction
Run the imageLoader example under VS2015 and directly from its standalone executable, then start at the ofToDataPath entry point and compare the reported paths. Done means the standalone executable resolves the data path correctly, matching the behavior when launched from VS on the stable 0.9.2 branch.
