Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is there any clear code to find an
application installation path by EXE name?  I found this but it
is usefulness at all.  Thank you!  share|improve this question
No, of course not. Not all applications write their installation
path in the registry, and the ones that do will always use
different path/key names. The only way you could be sure would
be to search the hard drive for the exe name. –  Escobar Ceaser

of apps are installed. How I can do it? –  Clark Kent Jul 13 '12
at 14:17 The obvious way - if you are looking for set specific
applications - is to do a regedit search for the exe after
installing it. Then you can just check the same Reg Address in
your code for other machines. This is not absolutely safe either
though as versions of the app may use the reg differently (or
not at all) and users may install differently (just me or all
users etc) which could affect it. –  Wolf5370 Jul 13 '12 at
