environment variable for ACAD directory

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Today I've got an easy one. Isn't there an environment variable for the
directory AutoCAD is installed in? I found it with

(vl-registry-read
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD\\R15.0\\ACAD-1:409"
"AcadLocation")

but there's got to be a better way.

'Regedit' at the 'run'.(windows)

There's a structure to everything.

Make sure you don't change anything, unless you know what you're doing.

(findfile "acad.exe") is what I use.

Or maybe (vl-registry-read (vlax-product-key) "AcadLocation")

Wow! I'd've thought there'd be a (getenv "ACADDIR"){no work} or something
simpler.

I forgot to mention A2ki/W2k.

Thanks guys.

(vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\" (vlax-product-key))

Yeah! After weeks of nothing to do (lucky to have a job) but play around
with (vlax-dump-object (vlax-get-acad-object) T), I finally got a simple
solution!
