Description

Right now we only save the FileName (the FullPath is used for de-duping but is explicitly dropped from the final JSON to prevent capturing EUPI). But it might be useful to know when multiple versions of a file are present, which of the different files are loaded (a ex: local DLL vs a system one).

Research direction

Start by locating FileMetadata and the code that uses FullPath for de-duplication before producing the final JSON. Trace how file locations are currently available, then add the requested general location value without exposing the full path; done means the metadata distinguishes locations such as AppFolder and System and remains represented in the final JSON.
