How do I find the codec I just installed?

Question

So I just downloaded CamStudio Lossless Codec 1.5 and ran the setup (http://free-codecs.com/camstudio_lossless_codec_download.htm). I did not see any hints during the setup process as to where exactly it was going to put the codec when it installed. I know it installed because CamStudio found it just fine. How does CamStudio know where to look for it? Where can I find it myself?

Solution

Open the start menu an search for "MSINFO32," click the icon in the search results to open the System Information window.

In the navigation pane on the left, go to Components -> Multimedia -> Audio/Video Codecs. The pane on the right will show you which codecs are installed on your computer along with their size, location, manufacturer, creation date, and version.
