Newbie registry question

[otherones]

What would be the best way in vb.net to find the path of MS Access on a users machine?

I have very little experience working with the windows registry, and no experience working with it in .net.

Any help would be appreciated.


thanks

Sorry for even posting that last message.. I figured it out myself... it was easy.

Once I figured out to look in Win32.registry it was very easy.

I think you must see a subkey in the registry in which key is contained the install\uninstall info fot Access after this you only have to make this:

_key as registrykey
_key = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(keyname)
' this depends of the type of the key (ClassesRoot,Users,LocalMachine....-)
after this you can read a value with

_key.GetValue (Subkeyname)

I guess this can help you
