    The powershell solution is sure interesting, but insufficient for the checks I want to do (just check for it to be valid is not enough).

    Thanks anyway for the suggestions!

      Hi,

       

      Good to know that the problem has been solved.

       

      > since I could not paste the path on the address bar

      This command

      explorer c:\windows

      opens Windows Explorer at C:\Windows folder.

      So you may call

      explorer <path to tested installer>

      to exclude navigation in explorer and improve performance and reliability.
