Set Working Directory not working properly...

[Sarah]

I am using a demoshield 6.5 scene to call several Installshield setup.exe.
Here's how I have it set up...

1. Demo32.exe resides on the root of the CD.
2. #1 Bitmap button calls a setup in Button1 folder on CD.
Application Name: Button1\Setup.exe
Set Working Directory = TRUE
Wait for Applicaiton to Terminate = TRUE

#2 Bitmap button calls a setup in Button2 folder on CD.
Application Name: Button2\setup.exe
Set Working Directory = TRUE
Wait for Application to Terminate = TRUE

Here is the result
When I click on Button1, the setup runs smoothly with no problems. The
setup finds the files it needs in the "Working folder of Button1.

Immediately I click on Button2, the setup errors out because it says
that it cannot find the files in the Button1 folder. However, shouldn't it
be looking in the Button2 folder, since I have "Set Working Directory"
checked?

Comments/Suggestions?
Thanks for your time!!

Sarah,

The Set Current Working Directory option is mainly used with DOS
applications. If you are using Windows based applications it is better to
use the <path> tokens in order to Set the Current Working directory to the
location of the DemoShield player (demo32.exe).

The path in your Launch Application Action should look at follows:

<path>Button1\Setup.exe<path>

This is assuming that the folder Button1 is in the same location as
demo32.exe.

Hope this helps,
