As far as I can tell, Control Panel Programs Programs and

displays info such as name, publisher, installed on size and

The bottom pane gives info such as contact data.

I wish to identify the exact path to the installed program. Is
there a way to do so within Windows? Or will it require a third
party s/w to do so and if so, recommendations?


For programs that are running, Task Manager will show the path if you
enable the Command Line column.

If you need a more general tool, perhaps they have something on the
Nirsoft site. Something like this:

Thanks. Nice info, but the programs I'm checking were not installed
using Windows installer. I mean, they show up in Windows Control Panel
info about installed programs but not in the Nirsoft report.

It seems to me that at one time (many years ago) one or two s/w
packages that catalogued hardware and software on your pc like SIW
provided that info. IIRC, these days SIW, if it's still around, is a
commercial product.
