Research direction

Start by locating FileSystem.CreateDirHierarchy and the Source.Launcher startup path; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Reproduce by launching from the project root and check where the sdn folders are created. Done means addons, cache and data are created under Build/Debug relative to the executable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If I run Source.Launcher from the project root it creates a sdn folder with addons, cache and data in the project root instead of in Build/Debug
