Changes with 2022.3 - HA and Web directory

I upgraded my dev environment from 2020.2.6 to 2022.3 and noticed a couple of unique changes. First, the HAEnableDisable.exe utility is no longer found in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion" directory. Did this utility get deprecated? Replaced with another utility? Also, the configuration wizard used to give you the option to specify the directory for your website root directory. But the 2022.3 version no longer gives you the option and seems to force it to the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Web" Is it just me? Anyone else notice these changes? This is the kind of stuff that never gets documented or communicated...

I did notice the website location change ... Does anyone know if we can change it back to where we had it before the update? I didn't see a place to input website location in the Solarwinds Configuration Wizard.

I eventually opened a case about this and they confirmed that the ability to specify your website directory has been removed. It's hard coded to "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Web"

Thanks for the update. Saves me putting in a ticket.

@RACampbell, to be clear its hard coded to the install location where you put the application. So if you install the application on a different drive the website location will follow.
