Running msfupdate on Windows moves Metasploit onto your OS drive

[Reelix]

Steps to reproduce

How'd you do it?
1.) Acquire a secondary Hard Drive
2.) Install metasploit in a subdirectory on that drive - Eg: R:\Utilities\metasploit-framework
3.) Wait for an update
4.) Run msfupdate.bat

Expected behavior

Metasploit updates, and remains in the location it was installed

Current behavior

Metasploit gets moved to C:\metasploit-framework\

I installed Metasploit with:

https://windows.metasploit.com/metasploitframework-latest.msi

OS

Windows 10 Pro x64

I simply uninstalled metasploit from Windows and use it via WSL
