You can get the name of the batch script itself as typed by the user with %0 (e.g. scripts\mybatch.bat). Parameter extensions can be applied to this so %~dp0 will return the Drive and Path to the batch … Read more

For a permanent installation you’d want to store the executable in a more reasonable place than the root directory and update your PATH to include its location.
