Champak Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Who knows about this registry entry? Is it wise to make my script detect/AND RELY on if an application exists by looking it up in this registry? Is an application automatically registered in this registry, or does it have to be run first? Do entries get deleted from this registry WITHOUT the application itself being deleted...like some maintenance/clean/tune up process? Thanks.

Quote Is it wise to make my script detect/AND RELY on if an application exists by looking it up in this registry?Not really. Entries can exists even if the applcation doesn't anymore (or can be added manually even if the application never existed). Quote Is an application automatically registered in this registry, or does it have to be run first?When a new .exe is ran it usually gets an entry in the MUIcache if there isn't on already...least as far as I know. Quote Do entries get deleted from this registry WITHOUT the application itself being deleted...like some maintenance/clean/tune up process?They can be deleted. I don't know at what point if any the system automatically does this though.Also...what does this have to do with AutoIt (why are you asking it in general support?)...?edit: some links for you-http://windowsir.blogspot.com/2005/12/myst...achesolved.htmlhttp://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/lofivers...php/t11895.html Edited August 13, 2008 by evilertoaster
Champak Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks, I actually came across those pages already too, just looking here for more and clearer/concise answers/conclusions; I guess I'll just stay away from it for what I was thinking. I was asking it here because I was thinking of implementing it within a script.
