WinGet CLI
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to know where an app is going to be installed before installing it. It can help, among other things, with picking a custom --location. For example, if an app installs in Local Appdata folder, so doesn't need admin, picking a "Program Files" custom location would be counterproductive as that would require admin
Proposed technical implementation details
- Add a field to the manifest that specifices the default install path (OR auto-detect it if it's somehow possible and predetermined based on the installer type)
- show this info in
winget show App
