Hello all,
I'm trying to port my old-installer houdini installation workflow to new launcher, because it seem to be the only way of installing shfs (correct me if I'm wrong), and houdini seem to rely more and more on shfs existence.

The trick is that I'm limiting myself a bit, and every piece of software must be immutable, such as installation of houdini is immutable, and installation of launcher is immutable too.

And here comes the problem: it seems that launcher very much wants to write to ../data/. directory relative to the main executable, witch it fails obviously in such setup.
I cannot find any flags/env variables to change the location of the data dir, or to disable the .lock file creation.

Sure I could craft a little bind-mount safe space for launcher to be run with all the expected dirs, but I would prefer to avoid adding complexity to the setup.

Is there any way to affect launcher's data dir location, or locking mechanism?
