SpecialFolderPath("resources") workaround for Windows

[Bob Sneidar]

From the dictionary for SpecialFolderPath:


  *   "resources": In development mode, the current stack's folder. In a standalone, the resources folder where files or folders specified in the Standalone Builder are located.

Since you set this in the standalone builder, create a constant with that path.

Isn't the resources path for Windows the path to the mainstack?

In LC 8.1.1, I have just become aware of Bug 18295 - specialFolderPath(“resources”) on Windows standalone doesn’t generate a path at all.

This is a show-stopper for me. Can anyone suggest a workaround which would work for any normal user environment?

TIA
