Packaged VBScripts working directory

Hi guys. When I package a vbscript it defaults to a working directory of c:\temp\ rather than the working directory from the calling cmd.exe. If I run a vbscript from cmd.exe it defaults to the working directory of cmd.exe. This is causing me headaches with my hundreds of scripts I was planning on packaging. Why does it use c:\temp\ ? Does the .exe run natively or does it simply a zip file of the script and extracts its contents and runs?

Thank you for posting, shocko.
Did you remember to include the following?

2. Specify if you are running a 32 or 64 bit version
3. Specify your operating system and if it is 32 or 64 bit.
4. Attach a screenshot if your issue can be seen on the screen

What packager options are you using?
Specifically what engine type?

Apologies. I'm using PrimalScript 2012 and I haven't changed any packager options. I simply hit the 'Package' option on the Run tab

That C:\Temp is a remnant from the old days where scripts had to be unpacked into temporary files. Try to add this code to the top of your script:
VBScript Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
Set oShell = CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
Set oFSO = CreateObject(”Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
oShell.CurrentDirectory = oFSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
