I only keep the latest release of the installer, since the old release 
is always replaced by the new one.

Some EXEs support uninstall command line switches, so there are only 
rare cases where one needs to know the UUID.

In my case I need the UUID for instance for JRE and a hand full of other 
applications.
On the other hand the flash player EXE supports the -uninstall command 
line switch and removes any release of flash.
