How to get all information about an installed application?
Tell me, is it possible to get all the information about the installed application?
That is, folders where application files are stored, including temporary ones, registry entries, etc.

The sysinternals suite (provided by Microsoft for free) has software that allows you to monitor both the registry and the file system. Starting from the application installation stage, you start monitoring, then during the typical operation of the application. Combine monitoring information and get what you are looking for.
This can be done if the application is some small utility.
But if the application is "average" or even more, then this process will be very labor-intensive. Registry monitoring usually produces hundreds (if not thousands) of registry accesses, with the same file system.
It's usually easier to manually comb through the registry (HKLM and HKCU) for application keywords, check Program Files, Public (All Users) profile, and user profile.
