Hi,

I am wondering how to correctly use the findRegisteredApplication function on Windows?

I have the location information path stored by my setup app in the registry, but, I don't know how to make switch retrieving it...

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you,

Eric

Ok just found it:

the key must contains anti-slash:

e.findRegisteredApplication("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{1234567890}InstallLocation")

Make sure you add the special ApplicationPath property also. This is where Switch stores the value returned by findApplicationPath().
