Logging Registry access by your application
Previous Top Next


Obtaining a complete list of registry keys used by your program:

If you enable any of the registry logging options, Thinstall will print out a complete list of registry keys your program accessed during its execution when the program quits. To find this list search your log file for "ExitProcess", immediately after this you should find the registry access listing. The registry keys will be listed based on the type of access requested by the program, for example:
