    How to take the Install Path from Registry?

    HI guys!
    First timer here
    I want to know how to take the Install Path from Registry!?

    Let me explain,
    i created a XML file for Firefox...
    Its basically a Firefox Search Plugin for my Forum...
    So that plugin is in XML format...

    Now i just want to make a quick installer
    that would contain that XML file and would
    automatically suggest to the user to install the XML file in the correct place!


    Now that place is Firefox "searchplugins folder"...
    For me its located here: --> C:\Program Files\Firefox 3.0\searchplugins


    So i did succeed into making the installer read firefox install path by inputting these infos here



    Cuz when i click PREVIEW, i see this:



    But i would like it to Show This when i click PREVIEW!



    Point is, some users install Firefox in its default location some not... like me....


    So how can i make the installer so it shows this path:
    --> C:\Program Files\Firefox 3.0\searchplugins
    when a user try's to install my XML file?

    I really want to keep the fact that the installer has to look in the registry to see where the user installed firefox to begin with!

    But it must add the "searchplugins" folder also next to it!
    --> C:\Program Files\Firefox 3.0\searchplugins



    THANX Alot Guys!!!

    Just create a searchplugins sub-directory in your source directory and move your files to it.
