ARKWE uses the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall key to enumerate the list of installed applications. The Display name, Version number, Publisher, Readme and the InstallLocation are taken from this Uninstall subkey. For various reasons, the version number, Publisher, Readme and the InstallLocation may not be set by the applications when they are getting installed. In such cases these are reported as Empty column values in ARKWE. Similarly, the Installation date is reported using the date of the registry entry under the Uninstall key.
