Hi all,

I try with NSIS to find the directory where excel is installed.
Is there anyone who has allready done this ?
Is there any script available please ?

Thanks a lot for your answers...

For version 10.0 (XP), you can find it somewhere in the registry: HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Excel\InstallRoot, Path.

That will probably work for other versions as well (but you should check), with a different version number in the registry key of course.

To detect the installed version, read the HKCR, Excel.Application\CurVer key (value after the last dot, only major version).
