32bit ----------------------- Forms

How to set up the relative path for Deluxe and Forms? Below is the .ini file. Adviant, Deluxe, 32bit and
Forms represent folders in the illustration above

--------------------

    [Preferences]
    ConnectionPref=0
    PartnerOffers=1

    [UninstallInfo]
    ProgramFolder=Adviant Deluxe
    RegFolder=Adviant Deluxe
    InstDir=C:\Program Files\Adviant\Deluxe

    [EngineOptions]
    FormPath1=C:\Program Files\Adviant\Deluxe\Forms

    [Cache]
    Build=Yes

--------------------

The .ini file itself is inside 32bit folder

I tried the following and it did not work

InstDir=..\..\..\Deluxe

FormPath1=..\..\Forms

"did not work" ... not helpful. What happened? What error?
And what are you using to parse this ini file? You can store anything you want in an INI file and use it in any way
What are you actually trying to do?
