Description
Description
Jan uses different installation paths depending on the installation method on Windows. The Windows Store version (MSI installer) and the GitHub release version (EXE installer) install to different locations, creating inconsistency across installation methods.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Jan using the Windows Store version (MSI installer)
- Note the installation path
- Uninstall and install Jan using the GitHub release version (EXE installer)
- Note the installation path differs from the MSI version
Expected Behavior
Installation paths should be consistent across different installation methods, or the differences should be clearly documented to help users locate their Jan installation regardless of the method used.
Actual Behavior
Different installation paths are used depending on whether Jan is installed via:
- Windows Store version (MSI installer)
- GitHub release version (EXE installer)
Impact
This inconsistency may cause:
- User confusion when trying to locate Jan files or configuration
- Issues for users switching between installation methods
- Problems for tools, scripts, or automation that need to locate the Jan installation
- Difficulty in providing support instructions that work for all users
Additional Context
Having consistent installation paths across installation methods would improve user experience and reduce potential compatibility issues.
