convert absolute path to relative path

hi,  In the tested apps in testcomplete, I have given an absolute path to open the application that I am testing. How can I use relative path instead of this path

You can define an environment variable that stores the absolute path followed by the executable file. You should then be able to use, for example

 

%VisionPath%\Vision.exe

 

Where %VisionPath% could be either

D:\6.5\build\win64\vc15.0\Unicode Release
C:\Temp
X:\Something\Else

    This solution of environment variables also suggest giving the path as absolute path, For our context what we need is a relative path

    i.e Instead of giving path as "C:\Testcomplete\v1.0\Testapps\vision.exe"
    is it possible to give "..\Testapps\vision,exe"

    assuming the test complete project file is in the path "C:\Testcomplete\v1.0\Project1"

    the Use case of this scenario is we can create multiple copies of the "C:\Testcomplete\v1.0" and use it for testing different versions
