Install Location

[sam_frontier]

Hi,

I'd like to run ViscosityCC.exe from unattended scripts. I've looked through my registry and whilst there are many Viscosity references, I can see no obvious entry for the install location (I was expecting a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SPARKLABS for example).

Is there a reliable/approved method for determining the install directory?

Regards,
Sam

Hi Sam,

Viscosity's installer does not explicitly write its install location key to the registry, however you could pull the location from the Windows software section (which is used by Add/Remove programs). "CC85567E-DC83-4BB5-AD77-D84514C0D059" is the UUID for Viscosity in this area. For example

Code: Select all

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{CC85567E-DC83-4BB5-AD77-D84514C0D059}_is1/InstallLocation

Generally however Viscosity should be installed to

Code: Select all

%ProgramFiles%\Viscosity

Cheers,
James
