There's no one method that works for every single app. Each app is going to either record this information, most likely in a different place in the Registry, or not record it at all and you'll have to search the hard drive for the .EXE, which is not that common now-a-days.

In the registry, you can try looking under the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

for the app that you want. You'll need to know it's GUID to find it under here. The GUID will be the same on every machine for each application component version. Under there, you can check for a InstallLocation value which should give you the path that the app was installed to, but not always!
