got a script that is trying to check to see if a path exists, both in “Program Files” and “Program Files x86” and that part works, in that I can iterate over and check both paths, but what I am having trouble doing is having it fail only when both paths don’t exists.

What I want it to do is only fail if both don’t exists. Otherwise I want it to show success if either one or the other is there. Any ideas?
