Environment

Windows build number: [run "ver" at a command prompt] 10.0.18941.1001
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): commit 9d36b08b82c67c6965263c63bb83b024c15f3474

Any other software?

I know it is not a supported scenario, but with https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/2043 we can now run Terminal unpackaged.
And some people might prefer it this way.

Steps to reproduce

Run WindowsTerminal.exe directly, outside of app package.
Click about in the drop down menu.

Expected behavior

The about dialog show up as normal.

Actual behavior

The app crashes.
