Description
Windows app, File area. Click the "Display in Explorer".
"Repair" option in installer is prompted. Click it to start.
Installer prompts for EXE: Keybase_1.0.33-20171003150842+ea019b3.386.exe, default folder is my Downloads folder. However this file is not found there. Pressing cancel cancels the operation.

- Log file Keybase_20171005083857.log
I try again, this time searching for the file name on my PC. I find it in the folder
C:\Users\gustafe\AppData\Local\Package Cache{8029599c-5d18-407a-9bc1-5b7875d899d5}
However, pasting that path into the Find File prompt and selecting the file fails the install.

Research direction
Start by reading Keybase_20171005083857.log and Keybase_20171005084018.log, then reproduce the Windows app's File-area “Display in Explorer” repair flow with Keybase_1.0.33-20171003150842+ea019b3.386.exe in the Package Cache path. Done means the repair/install accepts the discovered executable and adds the Keybase folder to Explorer.
