Dedicated Server: SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe expects CWD == installation directory, crashes if not

I'm currently walking through the official guide for setting up a Space Engineers dedicated server, and I'm running into some annoying bugs related to working directories.

According to the "quick server setup" section, all that's needed to start SE DS as a service is to run SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe and add a new instance. However, when I did this on my dedicated server VM, I receive a terminating exception:

After some troubleshooting on my end (and looking at the path that the DS was trying to fetch its own EXE from), it appears that the method in question is expecting SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe to be present under the process's current working directory.

When starting executables by double-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, the CWD is generally the same directory that the executable resides in. However, this should not be relied upon: starting EXEs via Command Prompt/PowerShell/other methods mean the working directory may be set to any location on-disk. Because I started SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe from a PowerShell terminal, the CWD defaults to the root of my home directory.

More frustrating is that the official guide doesn't mention SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe must be started from the same working directory that the executable resides in.

Could someone from Keen either update the dedicated server guide to mention SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe must be run out of the same directory it resides in, or update this method to use the directory path of the EXE itself instead of the current working directory?
