Hi

When you install Edge Canary, this .exe is present in AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Download\{65C35B14-6C1D-4122-AC46-7148CC9D6497}\82.0.451.0 folder

    Yes I have this (for a standard Canary installation, via the MicrosoftEdgeSetupCanary file)
    
    And this

    But if I install by .exe, there is no EdgeUpdate directory
