in General questions

Apolgies if this has been asked before however I've been unsuccesful in finidng an answer here or elsewhere.

I'm working on an embedded product using Windows UnifiedWriteFilter and as such I'd like to change the install path for my custom msi file using a predefined script.

However I simply cannot customize the install location.

I've tried the following:

msiexec /i C:\path1\path2\TeamViewer_Host-idcXXXXXXX.msi TARGETDIR="C:\path1\path3\Teamviewer\" /qn

No matter what it ends up in the ProgramFiles folder, what can I do to change this?

    Hello everybody,

    to customize the location of the installation while setting TeamViewer up, please use the following command:

    msiexec /i TeamViewer_Full.msi INSTALLFOLDER="D:\TeamViewerApps"

    We will display a warning after trying to change it 👇🏻

    💡Please make sure that you have the latest TeamViewer version installed.

    Best,
