query reg patches
-
Hi, It would be great if somebody can help me with this doubt. My main target is :In order to list the patches and their dependancies on the target machine(for ex:my machine): Should I have to go through the path - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\ When I went through this path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall I am able to get a list of hot fixes . What are hot fixes and are these patched? When I went through this path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\ I am able to see 3 entries- Data Access Windows 2000 Windows MEDIA pLAYER And under Windows 2000 -I am seeing 2 entries SP4 and SP5. Is SP4 is the list of service packs? Is SP5 is the list of updates? SP5 has a folder called FileList. This folder when I click shows some dlls on the right pane. Are these dependancies?I mean dependancies which these patches depend? Pls guide.
