Learn about AutoCAD.Net Adin. Is it so that location of AutoCAD product also is displayed?

Not sure what you exactly meant.

Anyway, the fact about the widget is that all available AutoCAD products regardless versions or flavors will be listed out in the Product combo box in the AutoCAD Locator dialog. When one is selected, its detailed information including the Installation Location will be displayed in the dialog too. And when the Locate button is pressed, the Windows Explorer will be opened and navigated to the location/folder automatically.

By the way, this widget has nothing to do with real coding work, but it can help you find the location (more specifically the acad.exe) of the AutoCAD of your concern in a second. Then you can check whether something is missing there or configure something (e.g. in the acad.exe.config) if necessary.

Hope this explains.
