Hello everyone!

I have next task:

i have few installed packages via InstallShield. I have their
GUIDs/keys from registry from
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

i also have something like this in "UninstallString":

RunDll32
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\ctor.dll,LaunchSetup
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation
Information\{A128E661-349A-4E33-97D2-95C824BF4D90}\setup.exe"

Well...the task is very simple from one side, from other side i'm not
sure that it's possible. All that i need - get path (directory) for
that package!!! Al that i have - few values at registry without any
info about location of installed package. I need only that - location.
Nothing more.

Is it possible to know this location? I really-really need it. At Msi i
have ability to use API at least and i have access to package's DB and
can gather info from that. But i'm puzzled with InstallShield :(

Please help me, and thank you for your answer!
