Does anyone know how to get the application path from the
registry for the 2003 PowerPoint viewer. The 97 viewer
uses:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversio
n\app paths\ppview32.exe

The 97 program and the 2003 program both use the above
location with 'powerpnt.exe' replacing 'ppview32.exe.' But
the 2003 viewer makes no entry.

The Viewer doesn't really get "installed", since no Registry entries are
required to run it. Basically, as best as I can determine, it is merely
unpacked and placed in the default path C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\PowerPoint Viewer. No path is stored in the Registry.
 
Depending on what you're after, this may help:
