    Enclose file paths that include spaces with double quotation marks.


Results

Run the listInstallationDirectories command returns information about the installation directory returns in this format:

Run the listInstallationDirectories command with the -long option returns information about the shared resources directory, installation directory, package group, and installed translations in this format:

* | shared_resources_directory
installation_directory : package_group_name : installed_translations

Running the listInstallationDirectories command with the -verbose option returns information about the shared resources directory, package group, installation directory, and installed translations in this format:

[Shared]
Shared resources directory: shared_resources_directory

[Package group]
Name: package_group_name
Installation directory: installation_directory
Translations: installed_translations
Architecture: architecture_type

For 64-bit operating systems, information about the architecture shows.  For 32-bit operating systems, the architecture information does not show.

When we use the -long option, the installed languages are returned in the ISO-639 language codes format: es, ja, and en. When we use the -verbose option, the name of the language and the ISO-639 language codes format are returned: Spanish (es), Japanese (ja), and English (en).
