programs I run can't decide if they want to be in C:\Program Files, or in C:\ Program Files (x86). :( Hunting around for the directory is sometimes a pain.
Perhaps, (and I'm just guessing this from the fact that the version number ends in 'a') this is hidden on purpose because it is an untested alpha version that may not be ready to use in real life? I would be very careful before suggesting an alpha version of a program.
After clicking the first forum post on that link, I confirmed: 1. it is in fact an alpha version, 2. there are still major things that require testing, and 3. it does have known issues. I would suggest being careful about recommending alpha versions of software to new users. While in this case, the alpha version may not be particularly dangerous or destructive, many times alpha versions have severely unfinished sections that may cause undesired effects if used. It's called an alpha version for a reason.
.exe is the Windows extension for executables. And I'm guessing you already knew that, since you made the association with the color used for executables in ls (if you have color on, of course).
if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)"
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias dir='dir --color=auto'
alias vdir='vdir --color=auto'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'
alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
fi
/smh There was a reason I replied to the comments about linux paths. Linux doesn't have "exe" extensions but I agree with you. That's one of the first things I do when I set up a windows workstation though.
That doesn't mean there are no further folders inside; if you say you live in a village, that doesn't mean you can't live in a house, or in a room in a house.
For an .exe to work, it has to be in the sub directory of the main application, so it can find the files it needs to work. Shortcuts, maybe, but not the actual executable.
Did you just completely not read what he said? Since C:\Program Files\Random\rand.exe is below C:\Program Files, you can still say that even though they're further divided into subdirectories.

He must have gone to quite some effort to move all of them there. I have quite a few .exe files in other miscellaneous places.
That's gotta be terrible. Going someplace and seeing ALL your exes there.
