@stephengillie - I think this duplicates #2752 and #1857 where the package either doesn’t support the location switch or no switch is defined in the manifest. The install location passed by -l can only be respected if the installer supports it and the switch is defined in the manifest (or the switch could be defined by the default installer type, if the default switch for that installer type is correct for the specific application)

-l, --location | Location to install to (if supported). -- | --

It's possible these packages do not support passing the location through to the installer. If they do support this mechanism, then it's likely related to the syntax used to specify the location.

@Trenly Thank you. However it works for the same version program in Windows 10 system.

@Trenly Thank you. However it works for the same version program in Windows 10 system.

Its possible the installer itself behaves differently on Windows 10 and Windows 11. In order to diagnose the root cause it would be helpful to have the logs from winget install wechat -l 'D:\softwares' --verbose from both Windows 10 and Windows 11

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue as a duplicate of #2752.

@RebelYoung, feel free to share logs as @Trenly suggested to see if this is a WinGet bug due to different behaviors on Windows 10 vs. Windows 11. Be sure the same version of WinGet is used on both versions of the operating system so we can get a solid reproduction using the latest stable version.
