Finding/Changing Installation Details of Applications
Hi,
if we use regedit, we can find/change some programs' installation dates at
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
but i realized i could not find details on all the applications i installed. i searched on this topic, and a poster wrote at a tech site :-
"The InstallDate registry value appears to be used by Windows Installer-installed applications. Applications that use other installation technologies may not use that property or use a different format (or they may not store an install date in the registry at all)".
to me that sort of makes sense. So is there any other way to find/modify installation details for these programs? if not stored in registry then, where should i look and how do i identify it
eg. CCleaner - i could find the installation date in the registry. but let's say Hard Disk Sentinel. i can't find it.
