This can be the solution.

Your assumption is wrong.
For build process it stays in the project location folder.
For execution, because it has to be done in detatched
manner, it does not follow the project path and loose
its track which can either be set by proper -o switch
or providing the execuatble path in "Start in" field of
Project Properties.

No, this is not the option.
If -hbrun is switched on, executable will
not show up if it is a console application.
GUI appln will show up but will run in the
hbIDE's process space and will block hbIDE
until it is exited.
