I am having problems starting Print Studio Pro (PSP) as a plug-in to Adobe Lightroom Classic (ALC). I can download and install PSP without any problems or errors being displayed and I can install it as a plug-in to ALC without any errors. However, when I try to launch PSP from ALC I get the following error: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Canon\Print Studio Pro\CNPSPPILR.lrdevplugin\CNPSPOPN.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
I tried unplugging PSP from ALC, uninstalling PSP, redownloading PSP (in one case I downloaded it from the alternate Hong Kong site), installing PSP, and plugging in PSP to ALC several times without success. I even restarted windows after installing PSP in one case. It didn't help.
I did check to see if PSP was installed at the location mentioned in the error dialog and it was; however, the CNPSPOPN.exe executable file was not in the CNPSPPILR.lrdevplugin subdirectory. It was in the next directory up: C:\Program Files\Canon\Print Studio Pro.
My system particulars:
Lightroom Classic: 11.3 Release/Camera Raw 14.3/Build 202204051513-7a25c809
Print Studio Pro: 2.2.3
Windows 11: 21H2 (OS Build 22000.613)
Anyone with pointers on resolving my problem would be greatly appreciated.

I have found my solution after researching a couple of non Canon blogs. What I found is the installation instructions from Canon are woefully lacking and each of the solutions recommended in the blogs where lacking in different areas. I put together an amalgam of correct steps to get me to the solution that works:
