I want to get all installed programs and their icons on my computer just like the Windows "Add/Remove" program and also I want to get all installer informations from registry with the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall". For some programs which don't have DisplayIcon entry under this key, what should i do if i want to get the icon as well.

Solution 1

Take a look at the Control Panel application, you will notice a lot of entries with the same icon. Your application should do the same, use a generic icon for all entries that do not specify one.
