Snapdrive install as local system.

Does anyone know how to install snapdrive as the localsystem account? The executable run normally appears to create directories in the currentuser appdata temp folder. I want to run the install through dsc and it just hangs after supplying the arguments below.

Also, any idea how to execute this with powershell?
