That's how this was intended. But teradesk seems to follow all symlinks,
which is not what I would want: Say I have different setups for the same
app - I would symlink the bin to different locations and only copy the
setup- (and maybe other) files.

So the launchpath-method seems to work with teradesk form everywhere.
