My knowledge seems a bit dated on xiloader. The intention is to rule out issue with why xiloader would not run correctly (DirectPlay/etc). If it is not required to be in the path that could be changed as well.

loader gets the path (3 paths - each region has a diff one) from registry if the entry exists and then hooks itself into ffxi from anywhere. I have D:\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI and D:\xiloader\pol.exe and can command line call it from in its own directory and it'll load my server still, on top of:

  <profile name="Demiurge">
    <consolekey>Insert</consolekey>
    <windowmode>Window</windowmode>
    <width>1280</width>
    <height>720</height>
    <uiscale>1</uiscale>
    <args>--server demiurge.pw</args>
    <executable>D:\xiloader\pol.exe</executable>
  </profile>

letting me call it from windower.
