What happened?

InvokeAI is installing to in system32 for some users.

I do not have windows to test, but I think what is going on is that when you double click a .bat file, cmd sets the current working directory not the .bat file location, but the location of cmd, which is C:\Windows\system32.

This is just a suspicion, and we need Windows users to attempt to recreate this (I do not have windows available to me).

Another user believes this happened when they ran the batch file as Administrator. Maybe that is the cause.

Edit: Nevermind, I ran an older installer. 2.2.0-rc4 release worked correctly.

It appears there is a video that links to an older pre 2.2.0 release, which is where I came in and grabbed my installer from. I expect there's quite a few who are going to run into the same issue with the older installer that appears to be fixed in the newer installer.
