Skips application when first key is not found #7
Description
If the first registry key of a .cfg file's application entry is not present or is blank, then it doesn't display anything at all for that product. Just in case, I even tried changing the "ShowBlankSerials" option; but, it didn't make a difference.
For example, the current "Nero 7" entry looks in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info" for the following keys (in the listed order): User, Company, Version, and Serial7_*.
The presence or absence of the other three keys makes no difference; but, if the 'User' key is blank or not in the registry at all, then Nero 7 doesn't show up in the results.
Since the serial is supposed to be the first key searched for (according to your .cfg file standard), I realize this may be intentional behavior. If so, then (as you've mentioned) a bunch of entries need to be re-formatted. Until that happens (and even after), perhaps there needs to be an option that lists an application as long as any one of its keys exists (even when blank).
