So I downloaded the MSI and installed it.

No Start Menu icon.

Nothing in Visual Studio.

No “opencover” on the command line.

No option in the MSI to even see (much less choose) the install directory.

https://github.com/sawilde/opencover/wiki/Usage - nice list of command line options, but not a single mention of the name of the command...

How do you expect anyone to use this? Do I have to use procmon to find out where the installer puts anything? And then manually add it to the PATH variable? Geez.

Look in your user application folder, if you choose the advanced option in the installer you can pick another location (I am surprised that you resisted the urge to see the other options available)

It doesn't integrate with visual studio and it don't mess with your path (too many applications do that) - yes that is up to you and how you want to use the tool.

Turns out the installer placed it in C:\Users\Timwi\AppData\Local\Apps. Nothing else is in there. This folder is not used by anything else at all.

I think the very least you should do is make the installer tell the user this so they don’t have to search for it on their entire HD to find it...

I had the same issue but managed to work it out. Would be great if you gave the option of just downloading the binaries. I just tend to copy them out of the installation folder and uninstall.
