I would try to put workshop.ini in the same directory as the exe (which must be writable without lfn, so outside program files)

Or, using a batchfile, try to point the WINDIR environment variable to some dir with the .ini before starting the resource workshop.

If you are looking for a substitute resource editor, iirc there is some Delphi-related resource editor here: http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm (*)
