I have finally figured out that information about programs listed in the
Add/Remove Programs applet is stored in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Is there a utility that displays this info in a complete but more accessible
manner than the registry?

The Add/Remove Programs applet doesn't tell you much about the programs.

Thank you for that tidbit. I never thought to look in the registry
for that info.

I can't help in your request, but you can make a "favorite" of the
location of it, but you still have to run Regedit first and then from
the menu bar choose "Favorites."

Well, specifically, I have a version of ATI Multimedia Center (bundled with
my All-in-Wonder). I am trying to upgrade to a newer version, but the
upgrade always aborts because it's looking for something from the previous
installation. When I try to follow directions and uninstall the old
version, the uninstaller starts up and then aborts. I'm trying to figure
out why that happens. The information in the Uninstall registry key is
interesting. Anything you can see in the Add/Remove applet, is in the
registry key, plus much more. Of particular interest are the
UninstallString, LogFile, InstallSource, etc. The Logfile value points to a
hidden folder called:

C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation
Information\{3CBA0E30-6F54-47EF-910E-1D4D450AFE45}\Setup.ilg

What I am looking for is a utility that displays this information in a more
accessible manner than the Registry keys.

Interesting proggy. Your sys requirements say "min win95, recommended
win98." What about NT-based winos'?
