      Hello,

      How can I get the SketchUp root folder?
      Inside Windows (I still haven't tried for OSX), after install SketchUp, no entry is created into windows registry informing the installed folder.

      The only thing I have found, after you run SketchUp for the first time, is the SKP file extension registration. This adds an entry at registry with the following key:

      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SketchUp.Document\shell\open\command
      or
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{FBD46897-D37D-484F-A4BF-B48EE41F0348}\1.0\HELPDIR

      Is there a more secure way to find where SketchUp was installed?

      Regards,
      Fernando.

        Sketchup.find_support_file("")
        

        seems to work, but I haven't tested all platforms.

        Hi

          Hello Jim,

          Actually I need this outside SketchUp.
          I'm creating an installation package which need to know where is the Plugins folder.

          The registry entry:
          HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{FBD46897-D37D-484F-A4BF-B48EE41F0348}\1.0\HELPDIR
          seems to be ok.

          Regards,
          Fernando.
