[Config]

No, you can't use it like that. Omit $EXEDIR\ from ini and prepend it to the string after ReadINIStr.

thanks for letting me know.

I have alreay written a macro that will look for .\ or ..\ and replace accordingly.

You can just use GetFullPathName (check the manual), as long as you use SetOutPath $EXEDIR first.
