if it's a subfolder this little line of code might be of use to you:
this will basically do a cd to the current directory, you can work with relative dirs from there.

popdthis will basically do a cd to the current directory, you can work with relative dirs from there.

Hi PJ,
The scenario is,
There are 2 folders Folder A and Folder B.
Folder A has a batch file and setup.exe. Folder B has a MSI.
The batch file runs the setup.exe. After installing the setup.exe, I need to install the MSI which is in Folder B.
These 2 folders are in a network shared drive which will change later.
My question is how to specify the network path with pushd command.
Thanks.

as long as the folder structure on the drive share is predictable you can play around with pushd and popd.
For your specific example, let's assume you're running the script from folder A
Guess I'm telling you to just play around with it abit [:D]

For your specific example, let's assume you're running the script from folder A
pushd %~dp0 //get the Folder A path and go to it
pushd .. //Go to the parent folder
set parent=%cd%
popd //go back to the current folder
-- do what you need to do here--
pushd "%parent%\Folder B" // go to folder B
-- do what you need in folder B --
