windows installer - .msi common application data local machine registry -


I think there are many subfolders in the normal appadata folder and there are many entries under hkey_local_machine for software on my Windows 7 system. . I want to know how the entry was created during the software installation and how the program can be found on them.

To create these folders and registry entries. MSI files have the registry Registry entries, the registry creates a "Registry" table in the MSI file.

Regarding the general AppData folder, this property: "The common application database folder" is that which uses the MSI file to refer to it.

Regarding permissions, the table is responsible for setting permissions.

Theoretically, the owner / creator of the file / registry settings is clear, and you can see the corresponding MSI file with how to see how it was created. Otherwise, you may have to enable auditing or you may have to use a tool like RegMon / FileMon to see which entries are being created.
