Search and read registry for particular external application

[KS Wong]

Hi all,

My application wants to know whether the target computer has installed
"Acrobat Reader" or not and to get the "InstallPath" information before it
calls the AcroRD32.exe to open a PDF file from my application.

Thanks in advance!

KS

Hello KS,

As you can see from the code provided, this is a non trivial procedure. The code has error handling builtin to alert you if there is a problem. Insert a new VBA module into your project and paste the code into it.

Calling the Macro:

InstallPath = GetAcrobatPath()
