Read Registry settings

[g_sures]

Hi, 

   I like to check whether the application is installed in the PC. I have the exe name. Is it possible to check it?

 I tried  "LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" which does not list. But in control panel it is listing.

Can you please help to find the installed location?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Suresh,

use RegEdit to search for your "Exe" name. Then it will show you all the keys with the name in it's path or value...

That's actually the right location, but it won't be listed by name. It will be one of the branches with the GUID as the branch name. I.e., one of the ones with those long hex numbers. Thus, you have to check each branch and then look at the "DisplayName" key to see if it matches the name of your executable.

Sure. I will try this.
