is there any way out ?

eg. i select exe as "Firefox Setup 5.0" . but the name of this exe in program list is "Mozilla Firefox"

I need help.

You are going to have to research the program names of all the applications you want to install, and their corresponding installation file name, and then use a text/xml file to compare them. There is no shortcut here.
