Hi,
in my windev application I need to start an external program. I know the nam of the exe ("myprogram.exe") but I don´t know where it is located at the users computer.
Is there an easy way to get this information from the registry ? |

HI Guenter,
I know the name of the exe, but it is not started and I doesn´t know where it is.
I need to know the full path (32 or 64) to start the application from windev.
There a several entries in the registry, but I don´t know which is the right one. |

Hi Michael,
for installed programs, there should be a record in the registry which says, where it actually is located. If your installer installed it as a windows program in \Programme or \Program files or \Programme (x86) etc. |

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\myprog.exe

Hi Heinz,
unfortunately not ... I found at github a post, they use:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
It looks like these GUIDs are unique ... |
