copy file from executing folder and paste into installing folder in installshield( InstallScript project)

Question

I am creating a InstallScript project in installshield 2011 and my problem is

I want to know the path of the setup from where it is executing

Suppose there is a folder name "project_setup" in which setup.exe and abc.txt file exist.Now at run time I want to copy abc.txt file and paste it to where the setup is installed.

EDIT: Now I am able to copy the file but In my Release folder there are 2 setups

In Disk Image/Disk1 folder (This setup Copy&Paste the .txt file and execute fine)
other is in the Package folder (This setup dont Copy&Paste but execute fine)

So how to make setup in Single exe so that it execute as well as copy&paste .txt file also.

This is a bad practice. If a file has to be copied to install directory, it must be part of the setup project. — Alexey Ivanov, Sep 05 '12 at 05:57

For Network Image, you need to parse PACKAGE_LOCATION with api ParsePath, then execute CopyFile. – Kevin Wan Sep 06 '12 at 01:53
