Improve WindowsHelper to search in windows registry #1869

@jakozian

Description

@jakozian

Feature idea

The WindowsHelper is limited to looking up a key in only one path and you have to know in which path to look for.
It would be more helpful to look up in various registry paths for a tool name (regex) and also offer methods for the most important keys like DisplayVersion, UninstallString, DisplayIcon and DisplayName.

Additional context

Most important registry paths:

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall,
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
  • HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
