OK. I can read the different key names in the \\hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall section of the registry which is great. I don't know how to successfully pass that path to next regread command.

Hi Folks, I'm using AutoIT to parse some registry information into a text file. I am only just learning C++ as my 1st programming langugage - so the syntax is a little confusing to me. Here is what I have so far but it's not giving what I need. The reg key i need is \hklm\software\windows\currentversion\uninstall\program_name\DisplayName Where program_name is a variable. The program works to read the "program_name" bit but does not read the subkey DisplayName. Any ideas gratefully received. My project is to generate list of installed programs without using any 3rd party tool. Once I have the text, I'll be able to parse into a database I hope. It's a license management exercise. ;Program to read Uninstall part of registry ;To show list of installed apps. $file = FileOpen("c:\temp.txt", 1) ; Check if file opened for writing OK If $file = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.") Exit EndIf For $i= 1 to 999 $var = RegEnumKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL", $i) $var2=RegEnumKey($var, "displayname") If @error <> 0 then ExitLoop FileWrite($file, $var2 & @CRLF) Next fileclose($file) MsgBox(0,"Registry Reading" , "Completed. Thank You")

Got the pack today. Blooming Nora. It is about half a tree thick. Page after page of nonsense. It asks for 2 referees which is fine but says the 2nd one should be from where you've worked with kids... which I haven't. Any ideas?

Doesn't bother me. I am fed of it anyway...

I am not currently in the field of education. But I was 2/11 at my last interview and would have been "a close second" if they hadn't had someone more experienced at the interview before that,. Both at secondary schools. I will be looking at a pay cut wherever I go because I get stupid amounts of money for being on call every other week at present.
