Two suggestions:
1) Pass the path to the batch file on the batch file invocation command line
and then CD to that path in the script.
<CustomAction Id='LaunchMyBat' Directory='INSTALLDIR'
ExeCommand='"[INSTALLDIR]My.bat" "[INSTALLDIR]"' Return='asyncNoWait' />
And then in your my.bat file:
Rem Gets the path of my .bat file from the command line
Set MYPATH=%1%
Rem CD to my path
Cd /D %MYPATH%
Rem Run the driver installer
Setupdrv.exe installs
2) Change your batch file a little to get its own location and CD there.
<CustomAction Id='LaunchMyBat' Directory='INSTALLDIR'
ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]My.bat' Return='asyncNoWait' />
And then in my.bat:
Rem Get the path of my.bat file.
Rem %0 is the path to the batch file
Set MYPATH=%~dp0%
Rem CD to my path
Cd /D %MYPATH%
Rem Run the driver installer
Setupdrv.exe installs
Personally, I like #2 better.
