Question

Answer 1

The installer doesn't, and really couldn't, know about the actuall executables. It only knows about the installation package - the .MSI file.

In order to get the names of the executables (yes, many "programs" are composed of numerous .EXE files) you would need to interrogate the .MSI file.
