Using LossyWAV encoder with portable foobar2000, Is it possible to save full portability? Options

[Rollin]

Is there any way to use lossywav encoder with portable foobar and save full portability?

(I have no problems with other encoders+portable foobar and no problems with lossywav+normal foobar installation)

I use lossyWAV (unsurprisingly.... ) with foobar2000 using a portable installation.

Are you having trouble pointing to the lossywav executable?

Yes. For other encoders I just place exe file to folder where foobar2000.exe is. But for lossywav it does't work.
Here my settings. lossywav.exe and flac.exe in the same folder where foobar2000.exe:

But for lossywav it does't work.

How exactly? Is there an error message from either foobar2000, cmd.exe, or lossyWAV; what does it say; etc.

Error mesage from foobar says:

1 out of 1 tracks converted with major problems.

Source: "D:\1\white noise.wav"
An error occurred while writing to file (The encoder has terminated prematurely with code 1 (0x00000001); please re-check parameters) : "D:\1\white noise.lossy.flac"
Additional information:
Encoder stream format: 44100Hz / 2ch / 16bps
Command line: "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" /d /c lossywav.exe - -q X --silent --stdout|flac.exe - -b 512 -8 --ignore-chunk-size -o "white noise.lossy.flac"
Working folder: D:\1\

Conversion failed: The encoder has terminated prematurely with code 1 (0x00000001); please re-check parameters

If in "Parameters" I write full (not relative) path to lossywav.exe and flac.exe (

/d /c d:\foobar2000\lossywav.exe - -q X --silent --stdout|d:\foobar2000\flac.exe - -b 512 -8 --ignore-chunk-size -o %d

instead of

/d /c lossywav.exe - -q X --silent --stdout|flac.exe - -b 512 -8 --ignore-chunk-size -o "white noise.lossy.flac

), then everything works.

Searching "portable" in the foobar2000 support forums seems to indicate that this is an outstanding issue with fb2k in portable mode - it does not seem to find other executables in its main directory.
