Determining the Location of the Update Client

[glenharvy]

Hi,

Since upgrading to Win8.1, my registry no longer contains a reference to the uninstall directory in none of the following places:

String uninstallDir = "";
try
{
RegistryKey pRegKey;
pRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyCourts", false);

if (pRegKey == null)
pRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
@"Software\WOW6432NODE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyCourts", false);

if (pRegKey == null)
pRegKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyCourts", false);

if (pRegKey == null)
pRegKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(
@"Software\WOW6432NODE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyCourts", false);

if (pRegKey == null)
{
RegistryKey localMachineX64View = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
pRegKey = localMachineX64View.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyCourts", false);
}

Searching the whole registry for the location has not proved successful either.

Has something changed. Is there an alternative source of this data?

Updating IA to IA 18.4 and then re-installing the product has fixed this issue and the registry entry has been made... Reinstalling using the 'old' build did not work.
