[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59053] 6.0.90a: invalid path in Octave desktop shortcuts if install dir was changed

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #59053 (project octave):

It doesnt seem to to do it for me - are thier other local installs on your
computer ?

If you run the following, what does it display:



octave_version = '';
rootpath = 'HKCU';
keypath = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall';
[ok,txt] = system(sprintf('reg query %s\\%s', rootpath, keypath));
keys = strsplit(txt, {"\n", "\r"}, 'COLLAPSEDELIMITERS', true);
for i=1:length(keys)
  key = keys{i};
  if length(key) > 1
    tmp = strsplit(key, '\');
    if length(tmp) > 1 && strncmpi(tmp{end}, "octave", 6) 
      octave_version = tmp{end};
    endif
  endif
endfor

try
  installpath = winqueryreg1(rootpath,[keypath '\' octave_version],
'InstallLocation');
catch
  installpath = winqueryreg(rootpath,[keypath '\' octave_version],
'UninstallString');
  [installpath,~] = fileparts(installpath);
  [installpath,~] = fileparts(installpath);
  installpath = strrep(installpath ,'"', '');
end_try_catch

printf("desktop octave path= %s\n", installpath)
