Hello, Is there a simple way to get the windows installation path inside TestStand?

thanks,

If you mean the path to where TestStand is installed, it is Engine.TestStandDirectory.

No, I meant the path where operating system is installed (generally c:\windows or c:\winnt)

I found a way to get it (calling a batch file which reads the variable %WINDIR% and pass the result to TestStand as a return code) but I'd like a better way...May be a TestStand store that path somewhere?

Have you tried the GetEnvironmentVariable function in the Win32 API?  This function is documented on MSDN  I've attached a sequence file that retrieves the value of WINDIR.
