How to locate an EXE file that I have just installed?
BTW: this post relates to an earlier post of today. I'm creating a new post, because (a) I don't want to hijack my own post, and (b) I don't want to hide possibly useful info inside the wrong title. The older post is here. I'll need to go back and edit the older post after I clear up the mess with this post. Sorry about that:
Where is old Windows scientific calculator? - Windows 10 Forums
During the installation, the installer did not ask for a target location. (I verified that by trying to install again - but the installer warned that the program had already been installed.)
During install, I was told that the output folder would be:C:\Users\<username>\App Data\Local\Temp
The problem is that I can't find the installed file, in order to run it
The original EXE filename was "OldCalcWin10". Before installing, I renamed this using a hierarchical naming method, with the highest object at the start, and the minor object at the end: "Win10CalcOld". I'm not a techie, so I don't know if renaming the EXE screws things up.
Here's how I tried to locate the installed file:
- Look in Desktop folder, sorted by date
- Look in Start > Programs
- Look in Program Files, sorted by date
- Look in Program Files (x86), sorted by date
- Look in Control Panel > Programs and Features
I can find it in Control Panel as "Old Calculator for Windows 10". But, of course, there's no install location.Thanks.
