Um... Code Project. You're not really cut out for this, are you ?
At least one of them is called CRegistry.

These keys are the properties of the installed applications. (Content of the Add/Remove programs Windows panel).
It is highly recommended not to do anything with them. You can corrupt things a bit.
Applications often use InstallShield to install, and they create such keys to help the Uninstaller do his job when the user decides to remove the program. In the case of InstallShield, the Uninstaller is a separate program (IsUninst.exe) installed along with the program, and it uses the content of these keys as cmdline parameters.
In short, leave this alone!;)
How low can you go ?

There are solution solution to read in a registry key.
Win32 API:
RegOpenKey()
RegOpenKeyEx()
MFC:
GetProfileString()
As for uninstallation, you can use an uninstaller such as InstallShield or design your own uninstaller.

infect i want to uninstall programatically any software with out any user interaction?

Okay.
You cannot programmably uninstall an application if it was installed using some other vendor's installer such as InstallShield. One reason is you would have to read and understand InstallShield's logfile.
Another solution is if the registry key list some uninstall executable line "unwise.exe," then you can execute that file.
HINSTANCE ShellExecute(HWND hwnd, LPCTSTR lpOperation, LPCTSTR lpFile, LPCTSTR lpParameters, LPCTSTR lpDirectory, INT nShowCmd)
UINT WinExec(LPCSTR lpCmdLine, UINT uCmdShow)

I'm working on a program which is not allowed to be run more than once in same directory, but is allowed to be run as many times as users want if the programs are located in diffrent directory. For example, suppose my program is named "abc.exe":
run c:\path1\abc.exe -> OK
run c:\path1\abc.exe -> Not OK
However:
run c:\path1\abc.exe -> OK
run c:\path2\abc.exe -> OK
run c:\path3\abc.exe -> OK
I wish I explained clear enoguh in above scenario. Now, to accomplish this, I thought using mutex should be good, this is how I did:
In beginning of the program I use GetModuleFileName to obtain application path and store it in a string, say g_szAppPath, and I use this string to create MUTEX object. Hmm, I thought it should work since g_szAppPath would only be different if the programs are located in different directory, is it not? But somehow this method does not work, I can always run the program multiple times in same directory.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a good way to get what I want? Thanks guys.

errrrrr
getcurrentdirectory() ?

it is very easy, save running exes in a file or register, check before a new exe runs.

This is what I would try:
CString strFile;
::GetModuleFileName(NULL, strFile.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), MAX_PATH);
strFile.ReleaseBuffer();
CMutex(FALSE, strFile);
if (::GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
return FALSE;
static CMutex mutex(FALSE, strFile);
[edit]Put this in your InitInstance and try it.[/edit]

Thank you. I tried but got runtime error as shown below:
--------------------------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library error:
Program: c:\blahblah\blah.exe
Abnormal program termination.
---------------------------------------------
Don't know what's wrong...

Yep, I tried it and it blew up on me too. For some reason it didn't like the name of the mutex (with the backslashes). I replaced the backslashes with regular slashes and it works like a champ. I also changed to code to be a little simpler:
CString strMutex;
::GetModuleFileName(NULL, strMutex.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), MAX_PATH);
strMutex.ReleaseBuffer();
strMutex.Replace('\\', '/');
static CMutex mutex(FALSE, strMutex);
if (::GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
return FALSE;

YES man! Finally!
OK it works perfectly now, so the real trick is that we cannot have back-slashes in a mutex name, damn it, where in MSDN said that?
Thank you a lot.

i saved lparam and wparam values when a key
(say U)pressed on a perticuler edit box.
i want to use these values of lparam and wparam again on different edit box.in order to see that key
(say U) .
is that code is correct or not for that purpose?
is there any change in logic if yes then plz tell?
LPEVENTMSG lpEvent= (LPEVENTMSG)lParam;
PostMessage(different_hWnd,
lpEvent->message,wParam,lParam);

Where does the second editbox reside?

infect second edit box reside on different procss

Assuming you design and implement both processes, the simplest solution to sending the data between the two edit boxes is file mapping and named object.
I am not familiar with the code you posted.

You've been asking this question for days. Have you written any code in that time ? What is not working ?

yes i have developed an applecation which can install any type of software with out any user interaction on the network i have used (vb.net,csharp,vc.net).
for that purpose i have recorded events and stroed it into a file and with the help of threading i have replay it. it work nicesly but only for mouse events it works.

What I'm asking is if you've tried anything to make it work, and if so, what ? You see, the more info you provide, the easier it is to help you, and it gives the impression you're doing more than just asking over and over again.

i am giving you some part of my code so that you could help.
plz see it.
if part works but else dont (which is my problem).
if(E_to_Match->message==WM_LBUTTONUP){
::SetCursorPos(fp.x,fp.y);
PostMessage(h,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,0,0);
PostMessage(h,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,0,0);
::Sleep(500);
PostMessage(h,E_to_Match->message,0,0);
}else
{
::Sleep(2000);
PostMessage(h,E_to_Match->message,(WPARAM)E_to_Match->wParam,(LPARAM)E_to_Match->lParam);
}
only else part dont work here.
Control tranfer here only when a keydown and keyup message appear
before that i store E_to_Match object and set its values
in a CALLBACK function
LRESULT CALLBACK JournalRecorderFunc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
...
...
E_to_Match->Class_name=c_n;
E_to_Match->W_text=wn;
E_to_Match->wParam=(Int32)wParam;
E_to_Match->f_point_x=f_point.x;
E_to_Match->f_point_y=f_point.y;
E_to_Match->lParam=(Int32)lParam;
E_to_Match->C_pt_x=C_pt.x;
E_to_Match->C_pt_y=C_pt.y;
E_to_Match->w_Level=w_Level;
LPEVENTMSG lpEvent2=(LPEVENTMSG)lParam;
Current_event->message=lpEvent2->message;
....
....
}
plz reply whats the problem with else part?
what to do because in else part hwnd is correct but dont displa key that is pressed.
it perform both keydown and keyup messages.
when i placed following line of code it display 777 in edit box.
i dont know why.
PostMessage(h,E_to_Match->message,103,
(LPARAM)E_to_Match->lParam); i am waiting for ur reply

Have you traced through the code and verified that exactly the same PostMessage is occuring in both instances, with all parameters the same values ?

yes i have checked that whan key board event have to execute only then else part executed hwnd is also correct
because when i put that line in else part it will dispaly 777 in edit box
PostMessage(hWnd,
lpEvent->message,103,lParam);
