Hi,
Is it possible to find the location of an installed software in Windows using MATLAB? I need my MATLAB code to find the location of an installed application (exe file) and then run it. I found this string in stackoverflow website:
notepadEdit = winqueryreg('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT','Applications\notepad.exe\shell\edit\command')
but it doesn't work for an app that is installed in program files.
Thank you in advance for any hint.

What do you know about the program you are looking for? Please provide this important detail, because we cannot guess it.

If you know the name of the executable and that it is installed in e.g. the "Program Files (x86)" folder:
[Result, WordPath] = system('WHERE /F /R "c:\Program Files (x86)" winword.exe')
system(WordPath)

And now, Mehdi? Did you try to run the WHERE command of the OS as I've suggested? Please consider, that I still do not know what "the name" means exactly. "Installed app" is not the same as "an exe file made by Matlab", so there is still the need to guess, what you exactly want. It would be easier, if you give an exact example.
Searching a file should be done on the operating system level. You can find millions of descriptions, when you search in the net for e.g. "windows batch find a file".
