Installation Directory Windows

Postman installs to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Postman\

I just move this to Program Files, and it runs ok.

I think I’ve said this before on other threads. AppData is meant be for data, not executables and DLL’s.

Our desktop build is developed to NCSC guidelines and this means that Microsoft Applocker should be installed.

Applocker by default will block applications from running outside of Program Files or the system folders.

So straight away, you have the justify need for exceptions to your Information Security teams. (Which in this case aren’t needed as it runs fine if you move the application folders to program files).

If you are running a compiled programming language like Python or Nuget, then I understand why the compiled applications are created in AppData. (But the main application usually still runs from Program Files).
