Don't know if this the correct place to post this. I'm on

windows 10 HOME Version 1903 OS build 18632.778

Using Visual Studio Pro 2019 Version 4.8.03752

From screenshot above the Create button is desensitized because I have to enter an Installer Location???? Where is this field documented? What does it mean? Why can I not create the pkg without specifying a location? And WHY isn't there a context sensitive help link describing a required field? This is my first UWP pkg and it's been a frustrating experience.

This app is going to be desktop specific. I thought all pkgs got installed in c:\Program Files????

OK. I entered C:\Program Files\ for the hell of it and got a permission denied error. Went ahead and entered a directory I know I have write access to and that worked. But It asks for pkg install twice? Once for PKG\AppPackage at the beginning and second time for Installer Location and at the end it asks to copy it from AppPackage to installer location. Strange, but whatever.
