Antivirus exclusion for software install from SCCM Software Center

Question

I'm new to SCCM and recently I'm deploying one software to PC. I can see that my AV blocked the installation of that particular software push/installation on my client.

However, I'm not really sure what's the path to exclude in my AV for the software to install. Since it's pushed from SCCM, may I know if there's a specific directory that will store the software files or packages on local client machine while pushing from SCCM? So that I could try to exclude it.

Client installation folder\ *.sdf
Client installation folder\ServiceData
C:\Windows\CCMSetup
Client installation folde\Logs
C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts
C:\Windows\SMSTSPostUpgrade
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Policy Platform\authorityDb*.sdf
