As the question is answered, the answer is: look through the registry.
There are two subjugates in the windows system that store the installation information of all the programs:
1，HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Store
Below is the sample python code to find the installation path of 360 browser:
import win32con, win32api def find_360se_path(): upper_keyword = '' path = None sub_key = r'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Store' key = (win32con.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sub_key, 0, win32con.KEY_READ) info = (key) for i in range(0, info[1]): value = (key, i) if value[0].upper().endswith(upper_keyword): path = value[0] break (key) return path
2，HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Below is the sample python code to find the installation path of 360 browser:
import win32con, win32apidef
find_360se_path():
upper_value_keyword = ''
upper_item_name_keyword = ''
path = None
sub_key1 = r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths'
key1 = (win32con.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sub_key1, 0, win32con.KEY_READ)
info1 = (key1)
for i in range(0, info1[0]):
key_name = (key1, i)
if key_name.upper() == upper_item_name_keyword:
sub_key2 = sub_key1 + '\\' + key_name
key2 = (win32con.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sub_key2, 0, win32con.KEY_READ)
info2 = (key2)
for j in range(0, info2[1]):
key_value = (key2, j)[1]
if key_value.upper().endswith(upper_value_keyword):
path = key_value
break
(key2)
break
(key1)
return path
