Put this in your batch before mage.exe -cc %0\ cd %0\.. cd /d %0\.. The first two lines are for 9x which doesn't support the /d flag, only the third line is required for NTx. This nifty solution was originally found at alt.msdos.batch.nt.

Subject: [WiX-users] Execute a batch file that takes Installation Directoryas current directory instead of C:\Windows\System32 Hello Everyone, I have a batch file that gets executed during installation process... Content of that batch file is something like this mage.exe -cc This command is supposed to execute mage.exe (that exe is also present in the same directory where that batch file is present). But, that command gives an error while running the batch file as part of installation. The current directory is supposed to be where that batch file and mage.exe is copied in the Installation Directory structure. Instead, the batch file shows that the current directory is C:\Windows\system32 and searches for mage.exe in the same folder as oppposed to the Installation Directory and as result generates an error. Without passing the path as an argument to that batch file explicilty, Is there a way to execute that batch file from where it has been actually installed (Installation Directory).
