Description

I like adding everything to my PATH. I want to add keybase, but it comes with unins000.exe and other files. Making a bin folder or something similar and putting the keybase.exe in it when installed would be nice. 😃

Research direction

The issue names keybase.exe, unins000.exe, and the Windows installation layout; begin by locating the installer or packaging entry point that places these files. Confirm the intended bin-folder layout and test a Windows installation, with keybase.exe available on PATH without exposing the other installer files.
