AmcacheParser ignores "old format" entries if "new format" entries are found

Hello.

Here is the output of your tool:

AmcacheParser version 1.5.1.0

Command line: -f Amcache.hve --csv .

Here is a key that isn't parsed by your tool:

Key path: Root\File\dd31621c-4f8f-11e4-9f49-806e6f6e6963\1000004513b

Data size: 112
Data (decoded):
c:\program files (x86)\opera\69.0.3686.77\installer.exe^@

[...]

("^@" marks the null byte.)

So, the Amcache hive contains entries having both the new and old formats. Those using the old format aren't parsed (e.g., the path quoted above is missing in the CSV files).

Unfortunately, I can't share the hive file.

hmm, an odd fringe case. ill see if i can add a switch to force which one to parse. that should do it.
