Sometimes it is necessary to add an add/remove programs entry. There are instances where an application is independent and requires not installation and you want to make sure it is copied to the system, or you use add/remove programs to verify a service is enabled/disabled. For whatever reason you need to add an entry you want to also add the registry keys so that a WMI query will also detect the entry. The script below will do just that. It creates a GUID, which is required to write the entry in the HKCR key. This is where the WMI will read from, not from the Uninstall directory.
