I was trying to install the Beta on a separate AFPS volume on my Mac.

I created the AFPS via disk utility. Set up the beta.

Once it finished downloading, I was looking for the installer. I literally could not find it as I was trying to install it on the new AFPS I created.

Does anyone know where the installer file is? I did a Finder search on Macintosh HD as well, and the app legit wasn’t there.

This is how I tested from Monterey when I was on Big Sur to test some stuff for my program. Worked previously with no issue. The installer showed up in Launchpad.
 
If you downloaded the beta through the Apple beta link, then it will be either in the Downloads folder, or it will be in the Applications folder.
If you used one of the third-party apps to download (such as MDS, or ANYmacOS, etc. then it would depend on the settings for that app.
You should be able to search by size, as the Monterey installer app is more than 12GB.
Or, a smart folder will quickly list by date, as the download would be quite recent, from today?
