In the context of a product being installed, there isn't really a current
directory. There's just a Windows Service reading an MSI file and installing
the files etc where the setup tells it to. What current directory are you
referring to?

Hi Phil
I just want to install the Files where the msi-file is located into.
is it possible to do this without doing a userinteraction?
e.g. the user only clicks on the msi-file and all happens in the background.
