I was the one having the problems with Redneck Rampage, but managed to fix it by removing the GOG Galaxy-installed version and reverted to the offline-installer. So, Nash, try the offline installers if you installed via GOG Galaxy.

Alright, so, it seems autodetection works now, but not entirely correct.

For some reason Nuclear Winter, Carribean, and DC have duplicate entries, one for each listing the addons slightly different. SW's expansions (from Redux) are also not found, only the base game is. I'm using the Steam version of the games (Duke is from the Megaton edition).

When I add the paths manually, the expansions are listed without the short names in parentheses, to those are the duplicate entries.

Double detection removed.
If any paths are still missing, I need full info about how to set it up, i.e. registry key, subkey to the directory and if needed, additional path components to get to the actual game data.

I have been using only the offline installers the whole time. Never ever used the GOG Galaxy thing.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com

1207658730 is Duke3D Atomic
1207658856 is Blood One Whole Unit

Is this information relevant?

No, that's only the last installation location that the next installer that you run will use as default path.

That was a weird edit.

What am I supposed to be looking for and posting here for Graf, then?

What I need to know is if reading the "path" key in that registry section is enough to get the path to the data or if some subdirectory needs to be added - a few installations have the real data in some subfolder, e.g. "gameroot".

I'm not sure which one of these is meaningful so have a look at the whole thing.
