I couldn't find any documentation about that, so probably you could give me a hint:

I've installed the Microsoft Flight Simulator on windows through the Microsoft store. As it's running fine with Proton I'd like to start it from Linux without rebooting my machine now. But as it's such a huge program I don't want to reinstall it and just use the installation that's already on my windows drive (NTFS).

How can I locate the program files on the drive and then start it with the latest Proton?

as far i know microsoft store using uwp packaging, so most likely it never run using proton

But as it's also available via steam I guess that it's only UWP packaged but not an UWP application - so I guess it should be possible to run with proton :+1:
