Can you check the command line parameters as they are received by the FreeFileSync installer?

I see several instances of the installer running:
Command Line:
"D:\..\FreeFileSync_10.14_Windows_Setup.exe"
Command Line:
"C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Temp\is-K7EIK.tmp\FreeFileSync_10.14_Windows_Setup ...

Which command line arguments are you passing to the installer?

After that I try to start FreeFileSync and get an exception that install.dat is missing (probably due to exception above).
Please help
