Hi,

I wanted to change the installation directory of PowerApps CLI to [C:\ProgramFiles] using INSTALLDIR command-line argument but the application is still in installing under %AppData%\Local\. Is there a way I can change the installation directory for the application?

Thanks,

Anique

Hi @anique9999

Assuming that you've downloaded the MSI for the CLI, I'd try setting TARGETDIR rather INSTALLDIR to see if that makes a difference.

msiexec /i "c:\downloads\powerapps-cli-1.0.msi" TARGETDIR="C:\ProgramFiles\powerappsCLI"

Hi @timl ,

Using TARGETDIR didn't help the application doesn't installs in Program Files.
"msiexec.exe /i "C:\local\PowerApps CLI 1.84.4\powerapps-cli-1.0.msi" /qn ALLUSERS=1 TARGETDIR="C:\ProgramFiles\powerappsCLI"

Thanks,
Anique
