Solution 1

Yes, if you move your exe, the relative path will change. That's what a relative path MEANS, relative to the working directory of the exe that uses it.

Don't push 'answer' to add comments. Use the comment button, as I have done. Yes, if your exe has files that it runs or uses, the folder structure needs to be maintained, there's not any other easy way to make it work.
