Title: Finding Obsolete Software
Post by: davev on March 28, 2022, 05:46:12 AM
Hi,

When patch my pc detects obsolete software, how do I tell where the items are? I get the red items in the viewer, but I need the path names to determine what to do next.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

check out these threads:

You will probably find what you're looking for in the Add/Remove Programs in many cases. In others you may have to look around your computer or ask more specifically.

Best of luck,

Hi,

Well I did a registry search and found specific references to the obsolete progs, even though the files were not installed. When I deleted the reg references via regedit all was well.

So I would suggest that pmpc indicate if the reference is a file or a registry entry at least.
