iisnode msi file doesn't install in preferred location

Question

I have msi file for iisnode, my machine is winx64. I want to install iisnode in preferred location. When I run the msi file it is installed, by default at C:\programFiles

I want to install in different location, because, TFS server will be deploying and replacing artifact inside the iisnode\www. It is not good idea to have replacing contents inside C:programFiles.

I tried msiexec.exe /a yarn-1.10.1.msi TARGETDIR=C:\cygwin64\home but didn't succeed,I have in the pic below (installation package cannot be opened)

If anyone have suceeded in installing msi file in different location when customization doesn't exist will be great, thank you

Not familiar with this, maybe see if an [administrative installation](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5564619/what-is-the-purpose-of-administrative-installation-initiated-using-msiexec-a/5751980#5751980) will extract the files and see if you can just put them in a folder where you need them. There might be operations that need to be done on the files such as registering services and such, but I don't know. Inspecting the MSI would reveal this. Where can this MSI be found? — Stein Åsmul, Jul 16 '19 at 20:19

Firstly, I'm not sure why your screenshot specifies an /a switch for an administrative installation? You want to use /i instead for a normal installation.

Use this command line (/qb for a 'basic' user interface, or change to /qn for a silent installation):

msiexec /i yarn-1.10.1.msi INSTALLDIR=c:\cygwin64\home /qb

Not sure that is an msi at all? – Stein Åsmul Jul 17 '19 at 08:28
Yes, it is. See here for the download location: [Yarn 1.10.1](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/tag/v1.10.1) – Captain_Planet Jul 17 '19 at 09:03
Thanks, guess I didn't do my "due diligence" there :-). Will have a look-see. – Stein Åsmul Jul 17 '19 at 09:06
No probs @stein-Åsmul. I imagine the title of the question probably needs changing to "Yarn msi file doesn't install in preferred location" instead. ;-) – Captain_Planet Jul 17 '19 at 09:22

Not sure if you are trying to install the app or creating administrative installation? but the above mentioned error suggests that the yarn-1.10.1.msi is not available in C:\iisnode1 folder. Could you please check that once.

This isn't an answer @Vivek - it's a comment. – Captain_Planet Jul 17 '19 at 11:49
@Captain_Planet I had tried the Yarn msi and above mentioned command worked fine. Above error replicates when msi is not present at the specified location. So, i thought it as an answer. – Vivek Jaiswal Jul 17 '19 at 12:29
