installation path of exe in registry
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 4:01 am
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.
