App install location

[sho-87]

• Version: 5.30.0

• Target: Windows

I'm using electron builder to package my app and can successfully create the .exe file for windows. Running this file starts an installer. When I check control panel I can see that the app is in fact installed, but where is the default install location? It doesn't show up in my programs list and I'm not sure where the app is installed to so cant actually run it

If build you app by electron-builder ( NSIS ), yuo van write it in package.js and the user can change directory of installation path
"nsis":{
"oneClick": false,
"allowToChangeInstallationDirectory":true
}

Installed Path is: C:\Users\{yourPCname}\AppData\Local\Programs\{your APP name}
