TeamViewer_Host_Setup version 13.2.5287 is creating "TeamViewer.json" and not "AssignmentData.json"

What gives? With this SaltStack script, everything happens except the assignment, where the posted error occurs:

                  Reading datafile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\AssignmentData.json' failed with: File not found

And when I check the machine itself, there's a TeamViewer.json file, as if I'd tried installing the full version (which isn't installed, just the Host is).

Solved it myself, by reading the manual, and it's not the clearest of instructions. The relevant section is anchored in this link: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Mass-deployment-improvements/ta-p/39639

In short, I changed TeamViewer_Assignment.exe straight to the C:\ ~ \TeamViewer.exe and dropped the datafile parameter.

 

(By the way, TeamViewer associates, the link anchors in the TOC of that article don't work in Chrome.

And the instructions for 13.2 are forbidden: From this link to this link:
