Question

How I can get the address of an installed application (browser) from .net code. For example, we want to run opera, so we need to get his address exe.

It must return “C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Opera \ opera.exe” for this example.
Сould you tell me, about api to obtain the addresses of installed programs on widnows (x32-x64)

Answer 1

Here is a MSDN social discusion about finding a program that is installed but not yet running.

You can also list all running processes with ID and filename:

Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses();

foreach(Process theprocess in processlist){
    Console.WriteLine(“Process: {0} ID: {1} File name: {2}”, theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id, theprocess.StartInfo.FileName);
}

You then just have to identify which is the one you want, and then get the filename with theprocess.StartInfo.FileName

I hope this helps.
