<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Need to know the registry key that specifies the install/setup directory for SQL Server 2008 (I know locations of earlier versions).<br />
<br />
Older versions had a value named &quot;SQLPath&quot;, located in &quot;SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLS<wbr />erver\Setu<wbr />p&quot;, which specified this location.<br />
<br />
The reason I need this is to determine where the backup directory is - perhaps there is a new value that I can query to get this.<br />
<br />
Alternative answers can be database queries that provide this information.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
