Error 123 during Splunk installation on Windows server - Need help!

Hello Splunk community,

I'm in the process of installing Splunk for the first time on a Windows server. I've followed the official installation guide, but I've encountered an issue during the installation process. After running the installer, I received an error message that says 'Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.'

I've double-checked the installation path and made sure there are no special characters, but I still can't seem to get past this error. Has anyone else experienced this issue during installation? What steps can I take to resolve it and successfully install Splunk on my Windows server?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
