Sync "choco installed status" with "Windows installed status"

[DarwinJS]

I think it would be great if choco completely relied on Windows built-in "installed" indicators rather than maintaining it's own.

However, if that is not possible it would be great if each time choco ran it checked if the uninstall key of any of it's "installed" packages was still valid. If any were found to be out of sync, unmark the "choco installed status"

This would likely require tracking the "windows isntalled status" indicators in each package's meta data.

It would be nice if the presence of a file or regkey beside the uninstall key could be used in addition to the uninstall key as it would give further flexibility.

This is a planned feature for the pro version.

Awesome!
Does the sync only happen upon a listing or upon any choco command?

I know the wording is small if you didn't open the image up and look at it full size, but it's written there - "any Chocolatey command will trigger synchronization"
