Comment:

 I marked #32348 as a duplicate even though it suggested to move the bundle
 to C:\Program Files instead to the Desktop.

 This might seems orthogonal to this ticket but when decoupling the user
 data from the application one we will need to discuss where to put those
 directories anyway (or to put it differently: it very likely won't work
 out to move the whole bundle to places like C:\Program Files without doing
 the work in this ticket).

 We can create child tickets for particular tasks once the work here starts
 and we feel like that's the right thing to do.
