You can use the way, the parser works to "split" the current folder (%cd%) into the desired base path and "commenting out" the rest:

CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files
CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files

Batch file programming is messy.
I can’t find any one solution that works perfectly.
But this three-pronged approach seems to work:
SET CURR_PATH=%CD%
:: Assume/anticipate failure
set "FOLDER_EXIST=False"
cd /d "%INPUT_PATH%\%REL_PATH%" 2> nul && (
if exist %FOLDER_NAME%\ set "FOLDER_EXIST=True"
