[SOLVED] Relative Paths

I am using AutoBackup Pro with another tool. Because of this the path will always change.

How do I change the ini path for ProduKey and other tools so that they are always seen?

I tried the following, but it didn't work.
ProduKeyPath=%AutoBackupDrive%\ProduKey\ProduKey.exe

Is there an %AutoBackupRoot% or something similar variable?

Re: [SOLVED] Relative Paths

The %AutoBackupDrive% variable is enough. You do not have to set it by yourself. Once you let the program download produkey, its path is stored in the AutoBackup.ini file with the %autobackupdrive% variable as root. This way, the real path does not matter.

Re: [SOLVED] Relative Paths

Well then, it's not working. When I look at the ini file, it has a complete path, ie. ProduKeyPath=%AutoBackupDrive%\Users\eddie\Amazon Drive\Downloads\RepairShopr\autobackup6pro\Produkey\ProduKey.exe. If I change it, and then run on another device, it shows that ProduKey is not installed even though the folder is there.

Well, I have not thought about this case but just the case of using an external drive which lettter changes from a system to another. I definitely need to change the way it works to handle such case.

Re: [SOLVED] Relative Paths

Maybe a variable like %AutoBackupPath% which would point to where the autobackuppro6.exe file is? Or just use relative paths?

Yes if it is within the AutoBackup's folder. Sometimes, people like to put it in a totally different folder, so, that will not be enough. That is a good start point anyway. I will not be able to add it before the end of the month because I am on Christmas vacation, far away from any computer. It is stored in my to do list.

As promised, I have started this work.
I have a version that you can test and let me know if it is OK for you.
Just check your PMs for the download link.
