My work computer has a restriction for running executables and calling DLLs outside of a specific directory. That specific directory is a “Developer exemption/exception”. I would very much like to build end-to-end tests with Microsoft Playwright, but it installs in two places:

1. The code folder (ex: C:targetDirectoryapplicationstargetApplication…) and
2. A bunch of executables and DLLs under my %USERPROFILE% here:
   C:UserspatflyerAppDataLocalms-playwright (though I have noticed these are mostly the browsers)

My question is, can I install (relatively) everything under a target directory like:
C:targetDirectory
…and by doing so, avoid offending the IT Security exemption granted to developers to use ONLY the “targetDirectory” folder (and any subfolders underneath it)?

Please assume I want to use all of the specific browsers that come with Playwright (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Webkit). I’d install without those browsers and point at the ones installed in C:Program Files (if I had to). Please let me know and thank you.

I tried looking for any reference to USERPROFILE or %USERPROFILE% as that seems to be part of the installation. I did find a reference to an error message if it was a relative path:
libserverfirefoxfirefox.js: if (!_path.default.isAbsolute(os.homedir())) throw new Error(Cannot launch Firefox with relative home directory. Did you set ${os.platform() === 'win32' ? 'USERPROFILE' : 'HOME'} to a relative path?);
