vb path registy key

[Kasumo Morris]

Hello All,

I would like to know which registry key holds visual basic install path. On
my development workstation my visual basic is installed on the d drive; on
our test machine, the e drive. I would very much like to read this value
from the registry.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

For Visual Studio VB .NET 2002, its:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio \7.0\Setup\VB]

Read the [ProductDir] value.

For Visual Studio VB .NET 2003, its:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio \7.1\Setup\VB]

Again, read the [ProductDir] value.

Hope this helps,
Cheers
Simon
