 *If Oni was installed into C:\Program Files\Oni and is called from that folder (e.g. by double-clicking the executable or the shortcut generated during installation), Oni will first look for "C:\Program Files\Oni\GameDataFolder". If it's missing, it will try "C:\Program Files\GameDataFolder", then "C:\GameDataFolder", and finally "C:\Program Files\Oni\OniEngine\GameDataFolder".
 *Same as above, but with the [[AE|Edition]] installed. There is a folder called "C:\Program Files\Oni\edition", which holds  a working copy of GameDataFolder and scripts that "remotely" run Oni (the engine is still in "C:\Program Files\Oni"). If you double-click the scripts, the working directory is "C:\Program Files\Oni\edition", so Oni will first look for "C:\Program Files\Oni\edition\GameDataFolder", and if it's missing it will try "C:\Program Files\Oni\GameDataFolder", "C:\Program Files\GameDataFolder", "C:\GameDataFolder", and finally "C:\Program Files\Oni\edition\OniEngine\GameDataFolder"

+Early versions of the [[Daodan DLL|C-Daodan]] discarded the notion of working directory and used the engine's directory instead; the feature will probably be brought back, for backwards compatibility.
-be in the directory with the executable, but Oni will also look for the GDF in a folder called "OniEngine" off the same directory. Also, if Oni is called from the command line, it will start looking for the GDF in the directories C:\[directory of command that called it]\ and C:\[same]\OniEngine\.
