Description
I'm running VS2015 and when I set the path to data folder it works only when double clicking the app (or running from cmd) but not when running from the IDE.

No idea where to start looking to change IDE's behaviour..

Research direction
Start with the ofSetDataPathRoot entry point and reproduce the difference between launching the app from Visual Studio 2015 and from the command line. Read the linked forum post for context, then inspect how the IDE launch context affects the data-folder path. Done means the configured data path behaves consistently in both launch modes.
