Using regedit
* in regedit open and select the following folder
<code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall</code>
* on a 64bit Windows, check also following folder
<code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall</code>
*Then search for the name of your application from that point onwards by pressing ''Ctrl+F''
*Once you've found the folder, the name of the folder should be the GUID you want.
Hint: most of the time there'll be a value called '''uninstallstring''' in the folder with the command to uninstall the product.
 
===Using WMI Commandline===
* open a CMD Shell as administrator
* enter following command for displaying the GUID (for the uninstall process) and the associating Display Name (for check process):
<code>wmic product get Name, IdentifyingNumber</code>
 
Hint: for few applications you cannot obtain the needed information in this way. You should use one of the other solutions.
