OK, you have a couple of options (at least). Easiest, probably
is to read the app paths from the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

You're looking for winword.exe.

An alternative is to use WMI to interrogate the Win32_Product
classes and then to pick out the Software Elements etc. It's
a bit messy, so I'd stick to the the AppPath approach if I were you.
