Where does WinGet install portable packages?

[RokeJulianLockhart]

I've installed https://marticliment.com/unigetui/share?name=Godot+Engine+(Mono)&id=GodotEngine.GodotEngine.Mono&sourceName=winget&managerName=WinGet. However, because of microsoft/winget-cli#2299 (comment), I have no idea of how to invoke it.

You can use winget --info to list out where the portable packages are installed on your machine. Where each specific package is installed will depend on if it is x86 or x64, and if it was installed with machine or user scope

@Trenly, winget has no --info flag for me, and microsoft/winget-cli#2298 (comment) appears to indicate that this functionality doesn't actually exist...

• 1. winget --info 'GodotEngine.GodotEngine.Mono'

  2. Found a positional argument when none was expected: 'GodotEngine.GodotEngine.Mono'
     

• 1. winget --show 'GodotEngine.GodotEngine.Mono'

  2. Argument name was not recognized for the current command: '--show'

Apologies, @Trenly, for I should have read the error properly, for merely winget --info works:

Per that, it was trivial to ascertain that Godot was installed into C:\Users\rokej\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\GodotEngine.GodotEngine.Mono_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe.

It would have been nice if there were a PowerShell commandlet for this, though. Perhaps I'll request one.
