Squirrel version(s)
squirrel.windows.2.0.1 and possibly others

Description
Squirrel uses %localappdata%\SquirrelTemp for various servicing tasks. Squirrel seems to allow simultanous installations to occur yet does not silo the temporary folder on a per-app basis. This appears to result in races for files in the temporary folder and can result in incorrect installations of various applications, wrong shortcuts, incorrect schema launches, etc. These installations are very difficult to repair and detremential to the user experience.

I believe this meets the bug bar for resolution under the Focus on the User Experience principle (#1470 (comment)) and the product's tag line Squirrel: It's like ClickOnce but Works™.

Steps to recreate
I highly recommend the use of a virtual machine or Windows Sandbox.

1. Download Teams_windows_x64.exe from https://statics.teams.microsoft.com/production-windows-x64/1.6.00.6754/Teams_windows_x64.exe
2. Download Scenario.zip (attached here)
   scenario.zip
3. Extract Scenario.zip to a temporary location and move Teams_windows_x64.exe into this location so all three files are side-by-side
4. Execute scenario.cmd and wait until completion
5. Run ms-settings:installed-apps or navigate to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps
6. Observe the included demo app with publisher Rafael is associated with Microsoft Teams
7. Open Start and type myapp to begin a search.
8. Observe the included demo app has incorrect shortcuts

Tip: Alternatively, you can shorten the timeout and remove the process kill to demonstrate a real race. But results may vary across machine speeds.

Expected behavior
It should not be possible for Squirrel apps to read from or write over each other

Actual behavior
Squirrel apps compete for the temporary folder and behave indeterminately

Proposal
Use a product-specific (or randomly generated) path to silo apps from each other.
