How to access installed programs (path)?

[scivision]

What path are executables installed to? On a local physical computer it's like

$env:LOCALAPPDATA/Microsoft/WinGet/Links/ffmpeg.exe

example:

    - name: install prereqs (Windows)
      if: runner.os == 'Windows'
      run: winget install ffmpeg --disable-interactivity --accept-source-agreements

    - name: FFMPEG version
      run: ffmpeg --version

ffmpeg.exe is not on PATH

Just figured it out as I posted. Might want to make an example in Readme.

I think this is a generic issue with winget currently. See:

• [Package Issue]: Gyan.FFmpeg sets environment path incorrectly microsoft/winget-pkgs#95349
• Installing a package doesn't add it it to path microsoft/winget-cli#549

This seems to be a general helper package we can use: https://github.com/jazzdelightsme/WingetPathUpdater
But it does not really work for me: jazzdelightsme/WingetPathUpdater#5
