Hi,

I want to change the new software installation path from C:\ to D:\ but the installation is going to the C:\ drive and the following playbook not worked. The package is at shared network path.

- name: installation of the package in D drive  
win\_package:  
path: \Network\path\rabbitmq.exe  
arguments: “INSTALLDIR=D:\Program Files”

Also tried the following

- name: installation of the package in D drive  
win\_package:  
path: \Network\path\rabbitmq.exe  
arguments\*\*:\*\*  
**- /D=D:\Program Files**
- /install

```auto
   Can any one help.

```

```auto
Thanks and Regards,

```

`

win\_package:  
path: \Network\path\rabbitmq.exe  
arguments: INSTALLDIR=“D:\Program Files”

`

should work. Please post the verbose output here. (use -vvvv)
