Windows msixbundle -- where is the application icon?

Plain and simple: where is the application (.exe) stored when installing from the .msixbundle?

I'm asking because I have historically had 1Password as an icon on my desktop, which has historically pointed to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\app\8\1Password.exe` but that no longer exists.

I strongly suspect you guys have moved your stuff under C:\ProgramData\Packages somewhere, but the more I dig, the more irritated I get.

And yes, the Start menu icon exists, but you cannot get necessary details from this icon.  I really hope you do not make me go into the registry...

`C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Agilebits.1Password_8.11.18.36_x64__amwd9z03whsfe\1Password.exe` is where you've now put this.  The "amwd9z03whsfe" tells me what I need to know, sigh...

Note for other readers: `C:\Program Files\WindowsApps` requires administrator priv to access.
