Registry problem, can't seem to find correct key
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 10:15 am
I've came across this problem before, see: Add Additional data to Add/Remove programs list
Jimo, found the solution for the proble, on how to add additional information to the "Add/Remove program" window.
But I'm having trouble finding the correct registry keys.
It seems IA 6 creates it's own reg.key in:
HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Currentversion\\Uninstall\The key created will be something like this:
{2AE36F8B-71B6-4579-B1A3-97591A1E8F45}
Inside this key, all of the values filled out in the options-dialog, such as Publisher and version etc. will be placed here.
Bu I really do not want to use this "number" but simply create a name sucht as "HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Currentversion\\Uninstall\\$TITLE$
In that case I can add some additional informaton, like Readme, to the add/remove program window.
Does someone has any idea how I can detect that long number or, how I can change the numer into $TITLE$
Thanx.
Ton.
