Trying to find where Microsoft hides FS2024 files

As the title says, I need to find where MS has the startup (exe) file from 2024. I have all my simulator programs on my "S" drive. I recently purchased a Moza force feedback yoke and I am trying to get it working. As the attached image shows, I need the top line where the basic files are stored. The other lines I can get to, but MS makes things hard on old men.

I use a shortcut from FSUIPC to start MS24 and associated support programs. The line that starts MSFS reads, "Start mshta %splash%" Other than the first word, I might as well be trying to talk to Dimus in his native Greek. I know many of you guys speaks computerese. I just need to know what goes in the "Game installation path".

You want to try to look up were your community folder is at Marketplace/Library and then click on the little wheel under(!) your name - not the one right to it. You'll find your files in the folder above via windows explorer- I think.... It seems like a new kind of DRM :unsure:
 
Thank you guys for the info. However, I have a bigger problem with the new YA 210 force feedback yoke I just purchased. I spent over an hour with a Discord gentleman from the UK with Moza. It seems my computer isn't recognizing the YA210 via a usb/COM port. I see two COM ports listed under devices. One is for the DOF H3 motion platform, via the SimHub software and the other is for the Qubic BT1 belt tensioner. I need to figure out how to either add a hub or use one of the five hidden COM ports for the YA210. The Moza support people are in China. So, everything takes a day to go back and forth.

I know that I don't spend anymore money than someone with a passion for golf or fishing does (I been there for both). Still, sometimes I question my sanity. Oh well, it sure keeps me from being bored in my old age. Doctors tell me it is good for my brain, too. I figure planning and flying a flight is just as good for my brain, and far cheaper.
 
Instresting: In Lelystad,NL it all sound like coming from Florida (with less probs then one would dream off and the best support ever) :unsure: And since I was contemplating the investment myself (+ Rudder, + Throttle): I'd appreciate if you keep us posted ;)
