"""
Discovers Comsol installations.
This is an internal helper module that is not part of the public API.
It retrieves information about installed Comsol versions, i.e.
available simulation back-ends, and locates the installation folders.
On Windows, the discovery mechanism relies on the Registry to provide
information about install locations. On Linux and macOS, Comsol is
expected to be installed at its respective default location. Though on
Linux, the folder `.local` in the user's home directory is also
searched to allow symbolic linking to a custom location.
