Here is a one liner telling you the exact location of the executable of any running process. The example returns the path to the PowerShell executable you are currently running:
PS> (Get-Process -Id $pid).Path C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell_ISE.exe
Use a different process ID, or search by name, to find other process executables as well. Or use Select-Object to list all top level applications that are currently running:
PS> Get-Process | Where-Object MainWindowHandle -ne 0 | Select-Object -Property Name, Description, Path Name Description Path ---- ----------- ---- ApplicationFrameHost Application Frame Host C:\WINDOWS\system32\Applicatio... chrome Google Chrome C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\... explorer Windows-Explorer C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Illustrator Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe I...
