    Help! Photoshop CS5 & CS5.1 installation write to the same register key

    Royt2011 Community Member

      I installed CS5, and in regedit there is a key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0", which contains two sub-key "ApplicationPath" & "PluginPath". After installing CS5.1 I thought there would be a new key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.1", actually there wasn't, but the value of sub-key "ApplicationPath" & "PluginPath" changes. It seems only one version of CS5.x is allowed to be installed, but in my machine both CS5 and CS5.1 could work properly. Now I write a script to copy plugins for photoshop, so the plugins should be copied to 2 location -- for CS5 and CS5.1 respectively, but the regedit query only returns one location -- for the version installed later. How could I detect that there are CS5 and CS5.1 co-exist and find both their plugin path? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
