Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for a key that matches however MSSQL lists itself. In that key, get the

Other places in the registry to look might be HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Setup and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\\Setup."Old age is like a bank account.
