Check Software Location From The Registry

[Chimaera 144]

This is me giving a little back for all the help i recieve.

This wont be off use for everyone, and any contributions to make it badass are always gratefully accepted

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

My simplified version of _IsRegistryExist()

Func _IsRegistryExist($sKeyName, $sValueName)
    RegRead($sKeyName, $sValueName)
    Return Number(@error = 0)
EndFunc   ;==>_IsRegistryExist
