IfFileExists in current directory

frogman_94 · 5th February 2009, 19:59

I have created a wrapper installer to run my other installers. I want to check IfFileExists in the directory from where I launch my wrapper installer for the other installers. I currently just past it the file name but it does not find it. I'm thinking it is looking in some other directory for the file. How do I tell it to look in the directory that contains my wrapper installer?

are you already using $EXEDIR to refer to the folder in which the installer .exe being run is located?

No I wasn't. But that did the trick. I new it was simple but I just couldn't find it.

coo - just making sure your wrapper installer didn't copy itself to a temp location for some reason.. that would have been less simple to solve
