title: Windows Registry location for Google Chrome version
body: <p>Where does Google Chrome store its version information locally?</p>
  
  <p>I'm developing a Lua script to access application version information found in the Windows registry, but can't find a registry key associated with the current installed version of Google Chrome Browser.</p>
  
  <p>The closest I've found was <a href="http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/a9bgVILbO7c" rel="noreferrer">this</a>, which indicates that the version info can be found at <code>
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, on my system, there is no <code>Google Chrome</code> subkey under <code>Uninstall</code> in the <code>HKCU</code> hive or corresponding <code>HKEY_USERS</code> paths. Any thoughts?</p>
