Affinity Designer 2 Installation: No Desktop Shortcut?

[JSC]

I just installed Designer2 onto my Windows10 PC Laptop.

I was surprised where it was installed versus other apps; I was hoping I could specify my custom directory for my graphic applications. 

Anyway, the install did not put a shortcut onto my desktop.  After searching I found two locations where the AffinityDesigner2.exe was located:

"C:\Users\JohnS\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\"  and  "C:\Users\JohnS\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityDesigner2_3cqzy0nppv2rt"  Folders.

I choose the .exe in later to create shortcut. Then I dropped a copy of the .ico from my AffinityDesigner (1) installation  into the "WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityDesigner2_3cqzy0nppv2rt"  Folder.  It seemed to work.  Question:  does it matter which WindowDesigner2.exe I use for the shortcut?

I think this FAQ will show you how to add a desktop shortcut if you want one.
