You can move most of the code from FetchUninstallInformation()
to a seperate function and use the rootkey as Parameter.
get_uninstallinfo_from_reg(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
get_uninstallinfo_from_reg(HKEY_CURRENT_USER);
I ended up creating a new patch that does something similar, while
keeping the FetchUninstallInformation function
Did you already checked, what windows does with
duplicate Programm names?
No, but I will do that in just a minute.
More hints:
lstrcpyW(key_app, PathUninstallW);
lstrcatW(key_app, BackSlashW);
p = key_app+lstrlenW(PathUninstallW)+1;
Why not add the slash direct to PathUninstallW?
This was already part of the code that I copied. Why the original
author of this code did this, I have no clue and was wondering about
that as well.
sizeOfSubKeyName = 255;
Fixed numbers are not a good Idea (error-prone).
This value is related to "WCHAR subKeyName[256];",
but RegEnumKeyEx expect the max. size in TCHAR, including the
terminating zero, so the correct value for sizeOfSubKeyName
is 256.
A nice, automatic way is:
sizeOfSubKeyName = sizeof(subKeyName)/sizeof(subKeyName[0]);
Such a construct works independant from the type (WCHAR / CHAR)
and the length of the String.
See above
All together looks like more than one Patch.

Like I said, I ended up rewriting the patch, and in so doing, created
a fairly large patch, because most of the functions had to be
rewritten to support an array being passed as a parameter. The 2nd
patch actually will have to be changed a little more as well because I
didn't document anything, however I submitted it here for suggestions
so I could have a rough base to work with.
