During installation of MDK-ARM v5.43 (dated Aug 1, 2025), when unpacking files the following is shown in command window:I: Extracting files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arm\PacksHowever, %LOCALAPPDATA% is not being expanded correctly. In my case it shoud be replaced by: C:\Users\dougr\AppData\Local\Arm\Packs.Instead, the pack is expanded in the same folder as the installation executable (MDK543.exe).How to fix this? seems to me as a problem in the installer during the unpacking process.thanksDouglas Renaux
