Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bootandy/dust/issues/328

The winget package for dust installs the binary into %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\bootandy.dust_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\dust-v0.8.6-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu which is fine, but it then proceeds to add only %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\bootandy.dust_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe to the $PATH so after installation and restarting the shell, dust is not available on the command line.

One possible resolution to this would be to have the executable directly in the zip file, without the sub directory, which is why I bring this up here. Other solutions might be to change the actual winget package, but I don't know if that's even possible.

I'm not entirely sure this Issue shouldn't be on the winget-pkgs repository instead, but since winget is listed on the list of package managers it might as well be here, let me know if I should open it there instead.
