📄 Description

It should not be assumed that Chocolatey choco.exe is found in c:\programdata\chocolatey as it can be installed elsewhere.

Upon install, Chocolatey sets a system environmental variable pointing to where it was installed, this is %ChocolateyInstall%/$env:ChocolateyInstall and that environmental variable is best practice to find the location of choco.exe. v0.98(?) and before used c:\chocolatey

Also, Chocolatey doesn't install apps, it installs packages which in turn are most likely programs.
