How to retrieve VS2017 installed location from Registry?

Question

I can retrieve the VS installed location till VS2015 from this Registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{Version}".

For Ex: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0

But there is no registry entry like this for VS2017. So how can i retrieve the installed location for VS2017 from registry ?

Answer 1

Due to the design changes in VS2017, you can only use official tools such as vswhere to locate the folder.
