I need to look up the install location of a product in the registry, based on the GUID product code. Under Win XP the keys of products installed were located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
For example, if I had the GUID {034759DA-E21A-4795-BFB3-C66D17FAD183} I could look up
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{034759DA-E21A-4795-BFB3-C66D17FAD183}
and there would be a value containing the install location for the product.
However, the Registry doesn't appear to follow this same setup in Win 7 x64. Does anyone know how I can do what I did in XP, but in Windows 7? Thanks.

Just checked my Win7 x64 system and the registry shows an
InstallLocation
key for most of the entries.
