I am following the documentation on installing with a self-extracting exe file, and using a custom answer file: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/installing_windows_custom_package_configured_as_self_extracting_executable_file.html

When I run the command CustomPackageName.exe /install /play install.xml it asks me the path to extract to, default being C:\Program Files\Commvault\installer

But then it doesn’t install, and if I look at the logs, it is because the xml isn’t in that location:

 ### ### ### - CommandLine: "C:\Program Files\Commvault\installer\Setup.exe" /play installnew.xml
 ### ### ### - User input file location: [C:\Program Files\Commvault\installer\installnew.xml]
 ### ### ### - Warning: User input file does not exist.

 

I would like to use the default location and not have to change it, to make the process as simple as possible.
