Product files store the location of a number of things (config.ini, exes, etc...). These should be stored relative to the .product files parent folder.

I agree Ian.

Andrew, do you forsee any changes in PDE Build?

Comment 2 Curtis Windatt

I imagine this should be pushed to M6.

Comment 3 Chris Aniszczyk

Agreed, there's a little too much churn for this one still.

It should be an easy fix for early M6

I would actually prefer to just limit people to the current project for selecting the product definition.

There is work for this in build, build replaces versions in the .product file and writes the new one to a different location.  We then point publisher at the new copy, anything publisher is expecting to find relative to the .product file will also need to be copied to the new location.

I don't think we'll need this at all once we move to properties support in M7

going to mark this a dupe of bug 260328 as this won't be an issue when 260328 is solved
