How to find InDesign CS5 application folder

[chingyue87]

Hello, I am trying to install our plug-in to InDesign CS5 plug-ins folder.  Does anyone know how to find where InDesign CS5 is installed on Windows platform?  I am looking for the App Paths registry entry which has worked for previous versions of InDesign, but it seems to me that CS5 does not update/add this App Paths entry.  I tested on Windows XP and Windows 7, none has the entry.

Appreciate suggestions.

Thanks.

Do you using those keys?

We are not using those classid keys.  After some investigation, we figured out that the App Paths was removed by the removal of InDesign.  What we did was to install CS5, then uninstalled CS4 in the lab.  My guess is that since App Paths was first added by CS4, the removal of CS4 took the app path entry out even though CS5 installer did modify it to point to the new CS5 app location, which is what we wanted.

So for now, we left the installer the way it is, looking for App Path.  If it turns out that people uninstall older versions quite often after installing the new version, we may have to revisit the subject.

Thanks for your help.
