Members

cbSize

Type: DWORD

A value of type DWORD that specifies the size of the APPINFODATA data structure. This field is set by the Add/Remove Program executable code.

dwMask

Type: DWORD

A value of type DWORD that specifies the bitmask that indicates which items in the structure are desired or valid. Implementations of GetAppInfo should inspect this value for bits that are set and attempt to provide values corresponding to those bits. Implementations should also return with bits set for only those members that are being returned.

pszDisplayName

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a string that contains the application display name. Memory for this string must be allocated using CoTaskMemAlloc and freed using CoTaskMemFree.

pszVersion

Type: LPWSTR
