Hello I'm trying to install SQL 2016 express but it fails

<PackageGroup Id="SQLServerExpress">
        <ExePackage Cache="yes"
                    Compressed="yes"
                    DetectCondition="SqlInstanceFound"
                    DisplayName="Installing SQL Server Express 2016"
                    Id="SQLServerExpressInstall"
                    InstallCondition="Checkbox1 = 1"
                    Permanent="yes"
                    Name="Installing SQL Server Express 2016"
                    SourceFile="Resources\en_sql_server_2016_express_with_service_pack_1_x64_9540756.exe"
                    InstallCommand="/ACTION=Install /INSTALLSHAREDDIR=C:\ /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR=C:\"
                    Vital="yes" />

What I can find is that when I run the exe by itself, the default directory to extract to is:

C:\c4b06d43e620d8498596a0060e\

But when I run it with WIX:

C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\1FDD945052F4A4B0CC9C8F1CC12385F85EB80D96\Installing SQL Server Express 2016\

Installing on ProgramData Fails, I can't find where to change this, any idea, please?


Best.
