Installing Eclipse Temurin JRE to Non-Default Location [message #1857822]

I'm installing Eclipse Temurin Adoptium JRE 11 to non-default location (to "C:\Non-Default-Path\Eclipse Adoptium" instead of "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium").

But it always gets installed to the default location (to "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium").

Does Adoptium JRE 11 msi distribution file "OpenJDK11U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.18_10.msi" supports command line installation to non-default location?

I'm using following command format:
"msiexec /i <jre>.msi /l*v <file>.log /qn INSTALLDIR=C:\Non-Default-Path\Eclipse Adoptium"

I see "Ignoring disallowed property INSTALLDIR" in the log file.

What property name MSI file supports for Non-Default location, should I use INSTALLDIR or different property?

Thanks so much!

Explicitly running the CMD shell as administrator fixed the issue. Also need to include ADDLOCAL feature:

"msiexec /i .msi /l*v .log /qn ADDLOCAL=FeatureMain,FeatureEnvironment,FeatureJarFileRunWith,FeatureJavaHome INSTALLDIR=C:\Non Default Path\Eclipse Adoptium"

An old document

msiexec /i <path of msi> -- it will install all the features

while msiexec /i <path of msi> ADDLOCAL=f1,f2 -- it will install only f1 and f2 features
