where is Photo stored on my Desktop

[HerrBill]

I downloaded Affinity Photo 2 onto my computer but I can’t locate where it’s stored? I searched in C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo but it’s not there. Does anybody know?

yes, this an App, you will not find it the usual way, which is really awkward. Many People complained already to change the installation file to a standard exe not in this MSIX format for Apps. 

Please see here for creating a desktop shortcut.

Please see here for how to install Affinity on a different drive.

I want to keep Affinity on the C-Drive but I need to change the location of Photo2 from its current location in Apps to The Affinity folder under programmes on the c drive.

 I use the FastStone image viewer for managing my files and I need to add a location for photo2 in order to edit an afphoto file in an external programme.

I need to do the same with Adobe Bridge which I use to download images and to open them directly in Photo2.

Windows wont let me do this. Is there no way around this?

I use affinity photo in combination with dxo photolab. I need a name and location for the photo2.exe because I want to transfer a tiff file from dxo photolab tot affinity photo. Is this possible?

Do not move it from it's location manually. Editing permissions or moving the install will mean that your software will likely never update correctly and will be unsupported. 

RawTherapee works with 

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe

But some other DAM apps didn't accept it

Thanks for the file path to Affinityphoto2. Unfortunately this file can not be accessed by the system!!

Back to square one again.

Does anybody know a way around this road block?
