Some applications are not a...

One of the company policies is that you are not allowed to install certain applications... because of the stability of your system *blah*blah*...

So it is time for some reverse engineering...

But I want to install some applications... which are not allowed... but within being detected... it is quite easy...

• Locate the executable file... that scans the machine.
  
• If you did so... check if in the registry are some valeus... concerning starting it. (their were no keys)
  
• Check the other files in the folder where the executable is located.
  

Well... the last one make sense... I found that the application scans in the registry key:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

So... this is the work-around:

• Install the application which is not allowed;
  
• Run regedit
  
• Go to the registry location mentioned above
  
• Find the keys
  
• Export the keys to a dot-reg file
  
• Delete the keys out of the registry
  

From this point, the application is not listed in the 'add/remove programs'

So if you want to remove the application... using 'Add/remove programs' just import the previous exported registry-keys and they will be listed again... (and detected by the scan tool)
