recently i was exploring the registry i found few special number in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\UNINSTALL\{...product code...}.
i found that these numbers are unique and are same on all the machines for a particular software. For example- microsoft .net framework 4.0 has 0A0CADCF-78DA-33C4-A350-CD51849B9702
product code. Can anyone list me the product code of all the .net framework (with service pack). i will suggest you all to have a look in registry path provided.
Thanks
