POE2 launcher takes me to POE1 only

I specifically downloaded the POE2 installer standalone and made sure ALL remnants of POE1 was totally purged from my system.

Yet every time i launch POE2 launcher it takes me to POE1 screen, and nowhere i can play POE2, and i am enabled for POE2 Early Access in my account.

How the &(*%^&(* do i get to POE2 game ?

You sure?

https://pathofexile2.com/download


the file should be

PathOfExile2Installer.exe



Note that during loading screen the game only say you are launching "Path of Exile", and it never mention "1" or "2"
