Interesting, I didn't know about %~dp0 before. To try another route, just so I don't have to edit their batch files every release, which are every other week it seems. Is it possible to map a drive within WPKG for the term of the session? Could I do a 'net use X: \\unc\path' and then run my batch from there? That would probably allow there patch to work unedited, but I haven't attempted to create a Mapped Network Drive in a pre boot situation before (I am using the WPKG client, not the script after logon). Can I use the 'net use /persistent:no' and have it drop the connection when done?
Thanks for the help.
