Silent installation of Apache Tomcat

Question

I want to install Apache Tomcat 8.5.11 silently to a specific directory using a batch file.

I have tried below command:

apache-tomcat-8.5.11.exe /S /D="D:\softwares\Tomcat"

The installation happens silently, but it is installed to C:\Program Files\ instead of the location provided using /D option.

Is there any other configuration that is needed ?

Does the specified directory exist? Not sure if tomcat requires this, but you could give it a try — Murmel, Oct 28 '17 at 11:32
Yes, I have created the directory and the user has write permission as well. — vidita daga, Oct 28 '17 at 11:40

Got this resolved by removing double quotes in the path For e.g., this works:

apache-tomcat-8.5.11.exe /S /D=D:\softwares\Tomcat

Also works for directory names with spaces.
