Dynamic Path for Provisioning Files?

   Hello,

I am performing a WorkGroup to Entra ID migration, and have generated a Deployment Package.

When running the tool, it errors out looking for the .ppkg file as it was attempting to find it at the original path on the technician computer used to build the Deployment Package. EG: C:\ProgramData\ForensiT\User Profile Wizard Professional\Deployment Files

As the Deployment Wizard is not installed on the client machines being migrated, this path is incorrect.

I edited the config file in an attempt to use ".\" to indicate the root folder path should be where the executable is currently located, and placed the .ppkg in the same folder as ProfWiz.exe but it did not work.

The goal is to just have the executable and other required files on a USB key to easily convert machines and move on to the next. Depending on the device, a USB key may not always receive the same drive letter.

Is there a way to have the utility dynamically locate the .ppkg (and others such as the .csv hostname mapping file) without it being hard coded into the config file?

	Hi, Please remove the .\ from the path in the config file. If you place the file in the same folder as profwiz.exe, no path is required. Profwiz will look in the same folder as itself for any files specified, if there is no path. Many thanks, Support.
