mfilename not predictable value return

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour when using mfilename function.
I compiled a script (myScript.m) that use mfilename into an executable (myScript.exe) and running it from a specific folder (C:\Users\username\Desktop\appfolder\).
I tought mfilename returned the binary full path but this's not true... i.e. running myScript.exe from the above folder and printing the value returned by mfilename I got:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\username\mcrCache9.7\myScriptN\myScriptT\myScript
Where myScriptN, myScriptT are temporary subfolders.
This path cannot be used to locate anything local or relative to to the binary folder.
Is there a function that can return the correct path when the script is executed compiled.
BTW the same issue is found also when script are compiled into DLL or .NET assemblies.

Cross platform:
[status, result] = system('cd');
currentPath = strtrim(result);
.NET:
NET.addAssembly('System.Runtime.InteropServices');
exePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
also:
currentPath = pwd
