Describe the bug Deploying an AKS cluster via Install-AksHci PowerShell Cmdlet throws an error:

Error: open C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\wssd\kubeconfig-mgmt: The system cannot find the path specified. C:\Program Files\AksHci\kvactl.exe create --configfile C:\wssd\yaml\appliance.yaml --outfile C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\wssd\kubeconfig-mgmt failed to execute [] At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\akshci\0.2.8\Common.psm1:1248 char:9

• throw "$command $arguments failed to execute [$err]"

• 
  + CategoryInfo          : OperationStopped: (C:\Program File...d to execute []:String) [], RuntimeException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : C:\Program Files\AksHci\kvactl.exe create --configfile C:\wssd\yaml\appliance.yaml --outfile C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\wssd\kubeconfig-mgmt failed to execute []

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Import AKsHCI Module from Oct 2020 release on one of the HCI Nodes
2. Run Initialize-AksHciNode
3. Set-AksHciConfig -deploymentType MultiNode -wssdImageDir 'C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\wssdImages' -cloudConfigLocation C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\aks-clus01-config -vnetName Computeswitch
4. Install-AksHCI
5. Error is thrown
6. Run & 'C:\Program Files\AksHci\kvactl.exe' create --configfile C:\wssd\yaml\appliance.yaml --outfile C:\ClusterStorage\Volume01\wssd\kubeconfig-mgmt

7. create the WSSD directory and run the command in step 6 again.

Expected behavior I would expect that if the WSSD dir is required on the CSV, then it is created, or the config is placed into the cloudconfiglocation directory specified

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: HCI OS

• AKS-HCI Version Oct 2020

• Kubernetes Version 1.18.8

Additional context to fix this, I uninstalled-aksHCI, set the config , created the WSSD directory on the CSV and ran the install again

Collect log files

• From a PowerShell Admin window run Collect-AksHciLogs
• If you are running into issues with the deployment wizard in Windows Admin Center, run Get-SMEUILogs.ps1 from the machine hosting Windows Admin Center.”
