Wow, you TLS-encrypt your ping packets? That's hardcore. :)

I'm surprised to see that add_test() doesn't accept a WORKING_DIRECTORY
argument.

One workaround would be to write a wrapper script that cd's to your
desired working directory and then calls your exe. Then you would
add_test(my_wrapper_script).
