### Issue Summary
Many people need to find the location of php.exe on Windows. Would it help to have a standard help document at [Archives: Help Docs - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/) listing the standard locations?
The first several community threads listed the solution with php.exe located in c:\program files (x86)\Local, which no longer exists.
1. Where can I find php.exe on Windows, please, and;
2. Is a help article on [Archives: Help Docs - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/) listing the standard php.exe locations worth it?
- Which version of Local is being used? 6.7.0.
- What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used? Windows 11 64-bit.

Thanks
I only see a `apache-2.4.43+8` folder inside the `C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Local\lightning-services` folder, and there is no PHP inside of `C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Local\lightning-services\apache-2.4.43+8\`

You could also try looking in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Programs\Local\resources\extraResources\lightning-services
