Top Shelf - starting directory when installed as service

[James Bradt]

Note to self...

Found this out the hard way when I couldn't figure out why my log4net
configuration wasn't loading properly.

When starting a top shelf application as a service, the current
directory is the system directory (C:\Windows\system32) instead of the
actual application directory.

So if your code is expecting to be running from a particular location,
it may have issues.

A normal suggestion is to have the following statement in the startup
logic for the service

System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory
(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);
