    Read registry key

    The Add/Remove program in control panel lists all the program install on the computer. Where can I read this information on the registry ?

    I want to write an application which scan the computer to know which software are installed on that computer.

    Thanks.

    Hi! Mr Bao, here is the path...

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    Question How do I get a list of subkeys

    I also have been tasked with finding what software has been installed on a PC. I have found the unistall area of the registry and can check if an individual application is installed but what I would really like is a list of all the subkeys under this subkey how do I do that?

    Thanks in advance
