What is the alternative for continuumAnalytics registry key?

I see that from Anaconda installer 2023.03 there is no continuumAnalytics registry key getting created under HKCU/Software/Python. Is there any other alternatives for it, since we were using it for finding the anaconda installer location.

Hi Naveen, having spoken to the team we think this is what you’re looking for?

Software\Python\PythonCore\<Python Version>\InstallPath

However, be advised that this key is only written when Anaconda’s Python is set as the default Python interpreter during installation.

Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Contains a directory with the name of the installer. That one is always written.

Hope that helps,
Jack
