installation path of exe in registry

[bmerkle]

Hi,

I would like to get the installation path of examdiff.exe via the registry.
However at the moment, the path is not explicitly mentioned.

I could use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PrestoSoft\ExamDiff Pro\Settings\Horz HTML Template
and then cut of but I could perfer something like:
HKCU\\Software\\PrestoSoft\\ExamDiff Pro\\ExePath and then as value the complete path to ExamDiff.exe

Other tools like BC e.g. put it in this way and that is quite usefull (HKCU\\Software\\Scooter Software\\Beyond Compare)

I need this for writing a small wrapper to invoke ExamDiff Pro for PVCS (versioning system)

thanks,
Bernhard.

There is some discussion on this at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=192

hm, but the current keys always have to be processed (cut of) etc. and are not very easy to remember (or to search in the first place)

What would be wrong with a key like HKCU\\Software\\PrestoSoft\\ExamDiff Pro\\ExePath ? (and there the path to the EDP.exe)
I think this would be a really easy to implement and valuable improvement.

thanks,
Bernhard.

We'll add this in the next version.
