I am cleaning up a Windows 8 computer and have a program which cannot be uninstalled from the control panel Add/Remove programs section.
Is there a way to easily find the locations of the programs listed in the Add/Remove programs section of the Windows control panel so that I can access them from the command prompt?
Update:
@ElectricRouge pointed out that you could use the below to show locations for some applications below:
Go to control panel --> Right click on the Control panel grid header --> Select More --> and check the location option.
but this does not show the locations for many programs which just show up with blank origins.
2This lists locations for some of the programs, but many of the programs do not list a location with this option and just have a blank line. Question updated. – ZenBalance – 2014-08-26T10:41:58.300
Yes some of the locations are just blank. Another thing you can try is If there is a shortcut of that application in your start screen or In Windows 8 app menu you can right click and choose open file location. And only other way I can think of is to browse through Registry Editor and find the location in the registry entry. Hope this helps :) – ElectricRouge – 2014-08-26T10:54:21.870
@ElectricRouge - Can you comment on why the location would be missing? Surely the file has to exist somewhere. – Kyle Delaney – 2019-04-20T23:35:13.533
