如何使用C＃查找ms word安装路径

Question

I am trying to get the installation path of ms word through my code so that I can put its icon in my excel sheet generated through my c# code.

Tried this but no luck.

Here I am trying to get the icon using the whole word installation oath which I know in my device but I want to generalize it.

worksheet.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Filename: @"C:\\Users\\BJS\\Desktop\\POC\\wordFile.docx", Height: 80, Width: 90, DisplayAsIcon: true, IconFileName: @"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE", IconIndex: 2, IconLabel: "WordFile", Top: _rng.Top, Left: _rng.Left);

Generalize the path which will work for all users

Answer 1

I think you can archieve that with the registryeditor. Open the key HKEY_Classes_Root\\Word.Application\\CLSID and save the Key Value. Search it in HKEY_Classes_Root\\WOW6432Node\\CLSID\\{your_value}\\Localserver32 (that's works for x64 systems, for x32 if i remmember right the path is "System" and not "WOW6432Node").

For how to read a registrykey in c# you can follow that SO link

As @Slai Say, that Will work only if you are Talking of server word Path and not browser user path
