If it was recent, then restore the Registry.
If not (and you have persistence and a little luck)
All Installed Programs May Not Be Displayed in the Add/Remove Programs

I have fixed several of these recently for others.
The problem will occur in these two situations:
1. The uninstall keyname for an application is greater than 63
characters.
Solution: Rename the keyname.
e.g. this is invalid
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\12345678901234567890123456789 01234567890123456789012345678901234]
2. The DisplayName for the key is greater than 63 characters.
Solution: Shorten DisplayName
e.g. this is invalid
"DisplayName"="12345678901234567890123456789012345 67890123456789012345678901234"
If you need a second opinion, export the key to a text file and email
it to me.
*** Note that the invalid entry that can cause this is not necessarily
connected with the ones missing so you must check all entries.
