Software Deployment

Hello,

          I created silent install for Aspen One Infoplus 21 application by genearating response xml file. xml file having full path of each product to be installed. But as the package will run from different servers, I want to make sure it should install from wherever it runs. so I used '.\' to make it work. but for MSI's its not taking the correct path.

I copied ATRunUnattended.exe and response.xml file in to Disk2 folder and changed the paths like below in xml.
