[vkmar]

Hi All,

My problem is how to get the installtion paths of a particular product installed every year,it's same product but with diffrent executables, every year the executable name changes. Like in 2008 the product executable name will C:\folder\folder\08abc.exe in 2009 the exe will be different C:\folder\folder\09abc.exe. so, now i need to extract the paths of the products. With out using the regedit. Answers are appriciated.

Thank You,
mar

There are other ways to do it, but you can do it this way by using the applicationdirectory class in

using System.Security.Policy;
