I am using Windows XP Home Edition that has been updated with Windows XP
Service Pack 2".

A program that I am running is using "Browse" to locate the "Path to
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2"

How do I locate it? Use the Windows "Search" function from the "Start" menu
to search all files and folders?

What do I look for? A "File Name" or some imbedded word or phrase? Which
one will point me to the correct path?
 
Your "Installation Path" .
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\...

..Windows\Current Version\Setup: Service Source Path
..Windows\Current Version\Setup: Source Path
..WindowsNT\Current Version - Source Path
 
The folder "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386" contains the updated versions of the Windows system files installed by the Service Pack. This folder is used when additional components are installed to ensure that the most recent version of the files are used. This folder is also used by the Windows File Protection system to restore corrupt or missing versions of the Service Pack files.
