I use this in a script that has separate #install scripts for each product, its called to determine the install location of a given product on a system.
Before i perform other checks on that product.
It checks the InstallLocation key first and if it doesn't exist (which they often don't), then it looks for the UninstallString and deducts the stuff of the end of the string to give you the path.
Im no genius with coding but i hope it helps someone
It prob needs some error checking etc but its where i am atm
