Solution 3:^[3]

Chrome can be installed in various places on Windows, for a given user or "all users", in which case it's installed in Program Files.

To determine where it is programmatically:

Batch file:

set exe=
FOR /F "tokens=2* skip=2" %%a in ('reg query HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command /ve') do set exe=%%b
set exe=%exe:"=%
set exe=%exe:~0,-6%

PowerShell:

(gp Registry::HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command)."(Default)" -match '"(.*?)"' | Out-Null
$exe=$matches[1]

C#:

var exe = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match((string)Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(@"ChromeHTML\shell\open\command").GetValue(null),
          @"""(.*?)""",
          System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.None)
      .Groups[1].Value;

Python

import winreg
import re
command = winreg.QueryValueEx(winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "ChromeHTML\\shell\open\\command", 0, winreg.KEY_READ), "")[0]
exe=re.search("\"(.*?)\"", command).group(1)

VBA / VBScript

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cmd = objShell.RegRead("HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command\")
exe = Mid(cmd, 2, 999)
exe = Left(exe, InStr(exe, Chr(34)) - 1)

The answer I am writing is applicable for any software/application installed on windows.

Windows 10

Click on windows button and search for the application, in this case Chrome. Right click on application name and click on "Open file location".
You will reach at location of the shortcut of that application. Again right click on the application shortcut and then click on "Open file location".

And you will get your path for desired application.

PS: Doesn't works for apps installed from windows store.
