    Aside from being a different string, can someone tell me what the difference between this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-2012730525-165812760-176978886-1000

    and this one:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18

    I see that under both of these are previously installed software, but why would one program be installed under one key versus the other?

    Thanks, and if someone could direct this to the appropriate forum I would appreciate it.
