What are the default location for an anaconda / miniconda installations on Windows?

Multi tool use
I need to figure out for our software, where could Anaconda or Miniconda install itself on Windows platforms. I need this, to not bother the user by asking the location of they installation, if it is the default.
So far I found, that the C:UsersusernameAnacondaX
(C:UsersusernameMinicondaX
) is the default on my machine, if I choose install only for my user, or C:ProgramDataAnacondaX
(C:AppDataMinicondaX
). if I choose installation for all users. (X here can be either 2 or 3 - for python2 or python3).
But I'm not sure, that this applies for all Windows machines, or they could be other possible locations. So my question is: are there more possible default locations, where Conda (Anaconda/Miniconda) could possibly install itself?
Thanks for the answers!
python windows anaconda conda miniconda

I think you mean the default installation path because manually the user can install it almost anywhere... If I remember right than these two default destination was for us too.

You can try determining where your version of python is installed first (dynamically) by doing:
import os
print(os.environ['path'])
It'll yield all the path information of your current system (in Windows OS). Then you can parse that text output and make sense out of it.
Wouldn't it be easier to usesys.executable
to determine the specific Python executable being run?

The problem is not determining, that where does anaconda / miniconda installs itself on my computer, but on general, to what location could it be installed, if the user accepts the default location provided?
