Search Inkscape.exe (or any exe file)

works if we have English language for OS

Using simple function:

Print @findExe("Inkscape")

function findExe(this$)
	declare local cn "ADODB.Connection"
	method cn, "open", "Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows';"
	local search$={SELECT System.ItemPathDisplay 
		FROM SystemIndex 
		WHERE System.FileName = '@@@.exe' 
		}
	method cn, "execute", replace$("@@@", this$, search$) as new rs
	with rs, "eof" as new  rs.EOF, "fields" as new field()
	=""
	if not rs.EOF then =field(0)
end function

Using function (can be member of a class too)

function findExe(this$) {
	declare cn "ADODB.Connection"
	method cn, "open", "Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows';"
	search$={SELECT System.ItemPathDisplay 
		FROM SystemIndex 
		WHERE System.FileName = '@@@.exe' 
		}
	method cn, "execute", replace$("@@@", this$, search$) as rs
	with rs, "eof" as rs.EOF, "fields" as field()
	=""
	if not rs.EOF then =field(0)
}
Print findExe("Inkscape")

This is the simple version which find inkscape exe and lnk files:

declare cn "ADODB.Connection"
method cn, "open", "Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows';"
search$={SELECT System.ItemNameDisplay, System.ItemPathDisplay 
	FROM SystemIndex 
	WHERE System.FileName = 'Inkscape.exe' 
	OR (System.FileExtension = '.lnk' AND System.ItemNameDisplay LIKE '%Inkscape%')
	}
method cn, "execute", search$ as rs
with rs, "eof" as rs.EOF, "fields" as field()
while not rs.EOF
	Print field(0);" -> ";field(1)
	method rs, "MoveNext"
end while
