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

displays info such as name, publisher, installed on size and
version. I do not see any path to where it is actually installed.
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:

Just another note. I browsed some more at Nirsoft. The UninstallView
package seems like a better fit. It too includes the location of
installed programs and it picked up those programs installed using 3rd
party installers.
