It seems that you should create a new folder using File Explorer and make it uncompressed (in Folder's Properties dialog, “Advanced” button). Then press “Browse” in SQL Server installer and select the folder.
I installed it now... I'll check how that works during the day. Thanks a bunch for the quick and easy solution!!
