Hi Tim,
For SQL 2005 or SQL 2008 (i assume you use one of them) you need to find the
following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Names\SQL]
"SQLEXPRESS"="MSSQL.1"
Based on the value of the name of the instance ("SQLEXPRESS" in this
example) you'll find the instance name-id.
Using this instance name-id you can now get the registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup]
"SQLDataRoot"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL.1\\MSSQL"
SQLDataRoot is the one you're searching ;)
For SQL 2000 it's even more simple but i'll leave the for you to find out :)
(Hence: start regedit on a SQL 2000 machine and try to find the key
mentioned above)
Regards,
Albert van Peppen
