Original issue description

I think "Brave Software" makes the most sense, other opinions?

[aekeus]

I like no spaces "Brave" but not a strong opinion

[bridiver]

That's ok too, but I remember seeing some complaint about distinguishing Brave from the Brave movie app or something like that. "Brave Software" should make it clear

[aekeus]

That makes sense. "Brave Software" is more specific.

How about placing it in C:\Program Files\Brave Software?

[bbondy]

Where do you see a Brave Inc folder?

Electron winstaller (the component we use) doesn't support installing in Program files right now. Also moving it into a higher integrity folder will mean we need to have a UAC prompt on each update which we don' want. Or install a second NT service like Mozilla has or tie into the windows task scheduler. All probably overshadowed by other priorities right now.

@bridiver do you know if this is still an issue?

Recent installs on Windows are showing for me in:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\brave

with session data stored in:
%appdata\brave%

[bridiver]

yea, that location has always been correct. Brave Inc was in the "start" menu

Still shows Brave Inc on Windows 10 x64 #8060 (comment)

@srirambv sorry I had forgotten to get you steps (the cache might be cleared by now). I'll post issues in the comment
