How to open a file with .mbox extension?
Some of my clients use Google Apps and Gmail. When we have to terminate an account I always use Google Takeout to backup all data for each user, before I delete their account from Google. Google takeout will create a backup of all E-mails and put them in a file with extension .mbox
I tested many different programs to open the mbox files and this is the one I found works the best.

How to find GUID From MSI File
Typically (though not universally) if a piece of software uses MSI-based installation the GUID can be found in the Uninstall entry. It will usually either be the key name or will appear in the UninstallString and/or UninstallPath value. Sometimes life is easy and there is a ProductGuid value.
Uninstall entries can be found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
On a 64-bit version of Windows there are two such keys, one for 64-bit software and a second for 32-bit software:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
