MariaDB silent installation problems

Hello, I'm trying to install a MariaDB 11.7 in a W11 machine through the command line using a silent installation with a msi package. My command looks like that:

msiexec /i "D:\DATA\mariadb-11.7.2-winx64.msi" PASSWORD=password ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=HeidiSQL /qn

Running this command in a cmd line with admin privileges, I can install but when I try to open the database with a client (HeidiSQL, for example) I cannot login with the root user and the password (I have tried also to leave the password empty).

However, If I do a "not silent" installation, using the GUI everything is working without a problem. Do you see any problem in the command I am using? Thanks
