BUG #17747: Registry entry "Base Directory" is not populated if you only install Command-line tools
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 17747 Logged by: Jeff Laing Email address: jeff.laing@synchronoss.com 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.
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.

Installers are handled outside of the project. I believe this is EDB installer, so this is something you will have to address directly with them (or with the company that produces the installer you're using).
