How do I in a batch script find the full path to application XYZ if it is installed
Clarifications:
Alternately, programs like Everything, and UltraSearch (freeware), SwiftSearch can search the MFT (of your NTFS partition) for files (so it can do so very quickly), (but Wikipedia claims this kind of thing can breach your security model by finding things it's not supposed to) -- some of them look like they have some command line parameters, I've not used them, but maybe it could be helpful, if you're resorting to a full drive search.
