Check the help file, there's an easy way to find the script dir (hint: @)

; Look for an .ini file as scriptexename.ini:

$iniFileName=stringleft(@ScriptFullPath,stringinstr(@ScriptFullPath,".",0,-1)) & "ini"

; Alternatively, look for an .ini file in the same folder as the executable, but with a different name:

$iniFileName=pathonly(@ScriptFullPath) & "yourinifile.ini"

func pathonly ($pathtostrip)
If stringinstr($pathtostrip,"\") =0 then
 $pathtostrip = $pathtostrip & "\"
endif
return stringleft($pathtostrip,stringinstr($pathtostrip,"\",0,-1))

closeupman gave a great hint.

@ScriptDir & "\INIname.ini"
