How to discover the location of the install exe?
Using installscript, how might I be able to discover the directory location of where the install exe is being executed?
For example, if a user downloads my install exe and runs it from D:\Software Downloads, how might I discover the "D:\Software Downloads" path?

Thanks, you got me on the right path.
I ultimately had to get the SETUPEXEDIR property and return it as a variable. SRCDIR got me the location of the install .msi, and I needed the .exe.
