I'm in urgent need of an application which can tell me from which location i have installed a certain program.

I have some 3d studio software installed but i'm unable to find its setup directory. So i need to trace that setup file or location.
 
though this is hard you can check your recent files folder. there might be the shortcut from where you can find the link.
 
windows search:) and search for the folder name. U might get multiple results but it avoids the issue when u don't know the exact exe name.
not all programs executables have the exe as the program name
 
Do you have an icon on desktop/start menu to launch that 3d application? If yes then right click and go to properties. Check the target field. You would be able to locate the path of exe from there. Hopefully that would be your installation directory.

EDIT: oops...my bad..i interpreted it wrongly...
 
@Konquerror
If i am right, he is asking for that location from where he had installed the software and not where he have installed it currently.
 
this is a tough nut to crack... try using windows search for finding the folder... Or just check out the places where u generally keep setup files in ur HDD...
 
setupact.log-This log file contains a list of actions in chronological order that occurred during the graphical installation phase, such as file copies and registry changes. The OS also stores setup error log entries in this file. XP writes the setupact.log file to the %systemroot% folder (e.g., c:\windows)
Click to expand...

Taken from:
What log files does Windows XP create during installation?

Goto start>>run>>type "setupact.log"

A notepad file will open. It has a list chronologically arranged. You can browse that. Tested it on XP and worked. Not sure about your OS. You can manually search out your installation components, using control-F + a bit of trial and error.
 
just run 3d studio software and run process explorer.

from process explorer you can see path of exe file ... no need of anything else
