I am writing a WinForms .NET program and I want to check whether Blender software has been installed in the local computer.
How to check if Blender is installed on a computer (32 bit & 64 bit)?
At the moment, I only can think of checking if Blender folder exists in the Program Files (for 32 bit) / Program Files x86 (for 64 bit).
However, I would prefer other methods of checking if Blender is installed instead of checking the Blender installation folder in Program Files.
Thank you
.blend
files are associated , or if the folder `$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.xx` exists, but those are not reliable since the user has to run blender at least once. $\endgroup$.blend
extension to blender. photoshop for example installs itself deep into the root of the machine (like context menu,additional programs ,etc). $\endgroup$
