Greetings,
I am trying to auto install windbg and setup the registry to handle dump
files. The latest version of windbg (dbg_x86_6.9.3.113.msi) seems to want to
install into Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)\ if the system
did not have a previous version installed. The " (x86)" is a problem because
it was not there before and I would need different setups depending on
old/new configs. I tried using msiexec with a TARGETDIR set to the other
value (no x86) but it doesn't seem to override the install. Any way other
than having multiple setups in my install script? Kind of messes up
auto-setting of registry values to run WinDbg on a crash with an input script.
Thanks. Rich.

Users may target the automate the installation path of the debugging package
by using the INSTDIR property.

An example of its usage is as follows:
dbg_<arch and version>.msi INSTDIR="c:\my_target_directory"
