Where Google Update keeps its logs

Google Update logs to %PROGRAMDATA%\Google\Update\Log\ on Windows.

Paths are printed exactly as Google Update writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
