[UWA Kodi 17 Beta 6] How do you pull the true addon_data for helper exe?

I am trying to make my Launchbox Launcher script Windows Store friendly but I can't figure out a way to pull the true addon_data folder as the UWA doesn't 'wrap' the autohotkey helper exe properly so that it's knows to launch in the actual folder not with the UWA container virtual one.

Code:
The script tries launching C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.launchbox.launcher\scripts\L​aunchBoxLauncher-AHK.exe

when the addon_data folder with the exe is actually located in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\​Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.launchbox.launcher\scripts\LaunchBoxLauncher-AHK.exe

So when it tries to executes the helper exe in the non-existent folder not the actual folder it obviously fails.

Any help would be appreciated.
