Package and Product GUIDS ??
I recently found the vbs script to change guids written by Aaron McLean. We can't run vbs code on our computers so I wrote a c# .net executable that does the same thing.
I managed to run his vbs script on a test computer and compared it to my executable. Both work the same.
My problem is:
With both the vbs script and executable the guid is changed fine, but does not contain the curly brackets. I get
1234-1234-1234
instead of
{1234-1234-1234}
I recall reading somewhere the curly brackets are required?????

guid will start with curly brackets and they are required.
To have a feel of product Guid goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unistall
Under this Key you will find all product that are installed onto your machine.
