To be clear, we scan ALL registry keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\ and launch the psql.exe that is located in the HIGHEST version.

I'm not reporting that installing 15.1 does not populate the 14 keys.

The perils of cut/pasting from a live RegEdit session...

PostgreSQL version: 15.1

Operating system: Windows

Description:

Our environment launches psql.exe via an intermediary application which

locates it by scanning the registry.

When a full installation of PostgreSQL is present, the

HKLM\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\postgresql-x64-14\Base Directory

value can be retrieved and the full path to psql.exe determined.

If a command-line-tools-only installation was used, this registry value is

not populated.
