Appexec links are only used briefly to find the real executable and create the
access token that allows executing it. I don't know how your local profile
directory ended up with a stale link. Maybe Steve has more insight.
There should be a "PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0"
subdirectory in your local "WindowsApps" directory. Check the "python3.9.exe"
link in that directory as well. It's the basis for the link of the same name
that gets created in the parent directory.
Note that I wrote read_appexec.py in a hurry based on someone's blog (appexec
links are undocumented), which I shouldn't have trusted. I've uploaded a new
version just now with what are hopefully more accurate fields and field names.
The previous target path result was correct, however. For example:
C:\>read_appexec.py "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.9.exe"
Package Name: PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0
Application User Model ID:
PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0!Python
Target Path:
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.2288.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python3.9.exe
