title: Calling a batch file from another batch file in different directory - resources not found
body: <p>I'm working with installshield and have a group of batch files that I want to run as part of the install process. Instead of executing each batch file from installshield I want to create one batch file that executes all of the batch files. </p>
  
  <p>The issue I have is that the calling batch file sits two directories up from the others. When the batch file tries to call the others they fail to run because they can not find the resources that they need. It seems that when they are executed from the batch file two directories up they are for some reason using the relative path of the calling batch file. Is my assumption correct?</p>
  
  <p>One of the batch files that I am calling is a batch file to star an h2 database the call looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>call h2\bin\h2.bat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I go to the /h2/bin directory in a command prompt the h2.bat runs fine but once I run it from the calling batch file this is the error that I get.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: Could not find or load main class org.h2.tools.Console</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I call one batch file from another without using the calling batch files path? </p>
