c# - How to get Adobe Reader full path(including executable file name)?

Question

it's possible? I need to get the full path of Adobe Reader including the executable name. I'm looking for on windows registries, the closer that I did was found the full path without executable name. Thanks in advance.

my code:

var adobe = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software").OpenSubKey("Adobe").OpenSubKey("Acrobat Reader");
var version = adobe.GetSubKeyNames().First();
var path = adobe.OpenSubKey(version).OpenSubKey("installer").GetValue("path");

Thanks in advance.

One of these should do it for you:

    var adobe = Registry.LocalMachine
                        .OpenSubKey("Software")
                        .OpenSubKey("Microsoft")
                        .OpenSubKey("Windows")
                        .OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion")
                        .OpenSubKey("App Paths")
                        .OpenSubKey("AcroRd32.exe");

    var path = adobe.GetValue("");

    var adobeOtherWay = Registry.LocalMachine
                                .OpenSubKey("Software")
                                .OpenSubKey("Classes")
                                .OpenSubKey("acrobat")
                                .OpenSubKey("shell")
                                .OpenSubKey("open")
                                .OpenSubKey("command");

    var pathOtherWay = adobeOtherWay.GetValue("");

Pick one and run with it ;)
