Install Path

I need to be able to look up the install path for sql from within a DTS
package. The registry reading stored procs have been deleted for 'security'
but I need to make sure that SQL Agent has full access to the directory for a
temp file. It would be ideal to get the install path and use that. This DTS
will be installed an mulitple instances so I would like to automate this.
Thom,
Maybe REGEDT32 and look for SQLPath?

installation

How can I check from setup if SQL Server (or MSDE) was installed? Which
registry key I should check?Hi
You can see in the Services of Windows, the setup installed the services for MSSQLSERVER. The setup installed the SQL Server Manager, Search this in the Toolbar of Windows
Tinoco.|||You can use
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') to determine the version. It is documented
in Books on Line.
