What is the registry path for checking if there is a SQLServer installed as a
virtual server on the machine. What I am trying to get here is if I logged on
to a machine and I want to read from registry if there is any SQL Virtual
server installed on this machine or not. I need to know all the names of SQL
that could be a default instance on virtual server or a named instance.

It is a windows 2003 in sql 2000 environment.

Any help will be appreciated.

What a terrible newsgroup it is. Not even people from MS respond to the
request hanging for over 2 days

Personally, I would not interrogate the registry to find whether there is any
clustered SQL instance. rather, I'd just use Cluster Automation Server (CAS)
via a script. See this article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;244597

for an example on how to script with CAS.
