Hello All,

I want to retrieve installed application's info (such as install folder
path, exe path, version number etc.). I believe that this info will be
somewhere in registry. How can I search this in registry? Is there any
thing like when any app is installed, it creates registry entries on
specific path?

Anyone's help is appreciated...

Thanks in advance

I think you best starting point is looking at OpenNetCF, they have a class
for dealing with registry thats quite detailed.
Sorry I can't help more than this, as im new to it all.
 
NetCF has a full set of Registry APIs in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace.
They are the same as those in the FFx. Simply use them to read the registry
info.
