how to find warcraft install path?

I used to use NSIS to install maps for day of defeat and counterstrike, and I would like to do the same for world of warcraft addons.

I got lucky before and found someone that let me use thier NSIS script that would search the registry for the correct install path for steam. I am hoping that someone here has already done this for World of Warcraft and be willing to share 😁

judging by the other questions on this forum, this is something fairly easy to do, but I am not sure how to proceed on my own.

thanks in advance,
Josh

Not that I am aware of. You just need to search your local registry for the correct registry entry. Use regedit's search feature.
