Windows Installer: cannot run the Windows Installer outside of its own folder

Description

Unzip the Windows Installer somewhere (for example: c:\Moodle 1.9)
Run 'cmd' command
Go anywhere excepted in the Moodle 1.9 folders (for example c:)
From here run the setup ("c:\Moodle 1.9\moodle\setup-xampp.bat")

It will fail as the batch considers that it is executed into the folder "c:\Moodle 1.9\moodle\".

Note: I'm currently working on the Windows Installer (MDL-14721). I write a issue for this bug because the setup-xampp.bat install script has been written by xampp team.

Hi Jérôme,

and why do you want to change this? It's simple a matter of double click into the setup-xampp.bat file (in fact that's needed everytime you change the "moodle" folder of place). It simply readjusts apache/mysql... paths to new location in hard disk).

Ciao

I just though that if the moodle admin only use cmd (not any GUI), he can only run the batch file from its directory. Otherwise the batch will not run properly.

Bug moved to MDLSITE-639

I think this should be closed as won't fix. It's xampp standard distro and I wouldn't change a bit there.

Yes it's probably better not to modify Xampp batch file. I close it as Won't Fix.
