Is the absolute path of Zoom.exe always installed in the following folder?

C:\Users\xxx\AppData \Roaming\Zoom\bin

 

If not, how to get absolute path of zoom.exe?

That's what Zoom claims, but it's *not* consisent across updates.

I'd like to suggest that Zoom *stop* randomly switching back & forth between creating & deleting then using different app directories (e.g. \bin vs. \bin_00) every other Zoom update/release. I use a shortcut to launch Zoom, and your dumb needless directory path change on every other Update breaks that, forcing me to manually recreate/relink the shortcut.

The Zoom installer created the default-install path as:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\*keeps-changing-its-mind*\
i.e.
  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin_00\Zoom.exe
      vs.
  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe

It would be better to default-install (which the user can *manually* use) at the "install for all users" \Program Files or \\Program Files (x86) location:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe
and *also* consistently using \bin, not toggle between \bin and \bin_00 for every other update, assuming the same *bug* exists if installed here.
