Right (drag the "R" and "I")... I appreciate the sarcasm.

The problem is it was installed in this particular case from the cd drive... believe it or not there are MANY programs that are installed from the CD drive and as a result I am searching for E:\ through the entire registry.. there are quite a few matches and I figured, you know I ll bet there are some people on the kix bb that could offer some assistance on this issue.. so what the hey I will post it. It has been another 12 hr day for me already and it was one less thing that I had to go digging for.

Thank you all for your help. For future reference in case anyone else comes across this it is
code:
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\904020001E872D116BF00006799C897E\SourceList
The entry is LastUsedSource

Maybe useful in the future.
