SUMMARY
The daemon launches and runs like expected but then silently crashes. The
daemon isn't running in the background because ```appFilePath points to
nullptr!```. I don't know what it means but it happens every time like clock
work on both of my systems.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have it get executed during startup
2. launch an application with elevated privileges
3. launch a second application and see it not launch or show a banner across
the top.
OBSERVED RESULT
the daemon runs once and silently closes in the background.
EXPECTED RESULT
The daemon runs every time there is a requested privalage escalation.
