Edge Dev installing to incorrect directory
Edge Dev on x64 bit hardware Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application" Correct path should be Ta...
They do not have to go to the same directory, just a more sensible one like:
Target: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" - Dev
Target: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge Canary\Application\msedge.exe" - Canary
Target: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" - Beta/Retail
Google Chrome Canary goes to the Appdata for a reason, Microsoft decided to keep it that way and made their Canary chromium based one to go to that folder as well. i understand it is more sensible to You but to the actual Developers of the Edge/Google chrome/Chromium etc, AppData was more appropriate.
Stable version is out, it still incorrectly installs in x86 folder.
Forgive me if I just think that nobody noticed and/or nobody cared from the beginning, that cannot be because "they did it on purpose cause they know better". It's just plain wrong.
Paolo_DelRe I agree. This is not good. It is wrong and makes the installer developer look a fool. It is completely against Microsoft installer path conventions.
