Wrong installation directory for Wazuh agent

[manuasir]

Hi team,

The Ansible playbook for deploying a Wazuh agent is not installing it where the documentation currently indicates. According to the official documentation:

By default, all agent files will be found in: C:\Program Files(x86)\ossec-agent.

Instead, it's being installed in the root C:/.

Thanks

Hello, team,

I have tried to resolve this issue but I have had some problems in the process.

First I did the installation in the path C:/wazuh-agent and it works correctly. After this I changed the installation path to C:/Program Files (x86)/wazuh-agent, as indicated in the Issue. By doing this the Ansible process is blocked indefinitely in the installation task.

I assumed it was a permission error, so I tried changing the task that downloads the installer to C:/Program Files (x86) instead of C:/. By doing this I fail to download the installer.

When the installer download task failed I gave all permissions to the administrator and the user(it have admin permissions) for the folder C:/Program Files (x86). With this I no longer fail the download task of the installer but I still fail the installation task of the agent.

Therefore it is possible that for this reason the default path to install the agent is C:/wazuh-agent and not C:/Program Filex (x86).
