## Example

```python
rt = find_runtime()
print(rt.gui)   # → C:\Program Files\LSD Desktop\LSDDesktop.exe
```

## Notes

`LSDDesktop.exe` is the desktop (GUI) launcher. `None` when the file isn't found in the install. For
"the thing to run", prefer [executable](/docs/api-runtime-executable), which picks `cli` first and
falls back to `gui`.
