isn't specified, the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% Deployment Tool automatically looks for the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% installation files in the same folder that the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% Deployment Tool is located. That's why we're putting the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% Deployment Tool, the configuration.xml, and the %BRAND_OFFICE_SHORT% installation files together in the same shared folder.
