You can pass win_shell a chdir in the 'args' section as well if that helps
(may not if a full path is needed).
Feel free to go back to your vendor and ask them how their automated
testing works if its such a pain to install/uninstall their product. The
only way we will get better quality installers is if vendors get badgered
into making them.
cheers,
Jon
