Issue description

Single instance app doesn't work when same app is in different folders

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a WinForm Application for .NET 8.0 (e.g.: WinFormsApp1)
2. Implement the Single Instance Application using the Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase class;
3. Build the Project and copy the bin\Debug\net8.0-windows folder for 2 diferent folders (e.g.: FolderA and FolderB);
4. Launch the WinFormsApp1.exe from FolderA and keep it opened;
5. Try to launch the WinFormsApp1.exe from FolderA again: Verify that it is detected that the WinFormsApp1.exe is already opened (PASS!);
6. Now, Launch the WinFormsApp1.exe from FolderB: Verify that WinFormsApp1.exe is launched and 2 instances of the WinFormsApp1.exe are now opened. One from FolderA and other from FolderB (FAIL);

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This issue is NOT reproducible when the same App is compiled to .NET Framework 4.8;

Here is the code exemple to reproduce this issue: WinFormsApp1.zip

@merriemcgaw Do we want Single Instance VB apps to work similarly to framework here? I imagine we can just hash the file path to the app as a GUID.

Let me run this by @KlausLoeffelmann, but I think it's quite reasonable and might even be a blocker for some migrations.
