I'm just wanting to understand some of the registry entries that InstallShield (MSI?) creates for installed products. I notice the following registry nodes get created:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\<? GUID>
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Product GUID>
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield_<Product GUID>
I understand that "S-1-5-18" is the SID for "Local System" in the first node, and I have identified the "Product GUID" in the other two.
What I don't know is: What is that GUID in the first node? I don't think it's a Package GUID, Product GUID, Upgrade GUID, Component GUID, or Merge Module GUID.
