InstalledPrograms.xls

Filed under: My Software — Didier Stevens @ 13:01

Here is a new spreadsheet that lists all installed programs. It does this by enumerating registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

This spreadsheet works on 32-bit and 64-bit Excel.

  1. For 64-bit Windows, is HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ a better place to pull installed applications from?

  2. @earthsound Are you asking for 64-bit Excel on 64-bit Windows?

  3. I’m not at a 64-bit machine right now, but I was under the impression that HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ may contain applications that may not be found in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall due to the difference in where 32-bit and 64-bit applications’ keys are stored, whether the keys are redirected or mapped, and which version of Windows you’re running.

  4. @earthsound Ah yes, now I understand what you mean, excellent point. I overlooked the fact that on Windows 64-bit, 32-bit installation programs will actually register the installation in key HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (from a 64-bit viewpoint).

    So I have to adapt the 64-bit part of the code to include this key (I need to check both keys in 64-bit Excel).

  7. Can you flick me a mail with it when you do? I’m releasing new iKAT at XCon 2012 next month in China, so in the next few weeks would be super.
    Feel free to donate any of your xls pages or ideas/concepts, they are very handy, often used by my users, and tbh really cool πŸ™‚
    I also have a few new nifty SRP bypass tools in the new iKAT you might be interested in.
