OK, you have a couple of options (at least). Easiest, probably is to read the app paths from the registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths You're looking for winword.exe. An alternative is to use WMI to interrogate the Win32_Product classes and then to pick out the Software Elements etc. It's a bit messy, so I'd stick to the the AppPath approach if I were you.
